Georgia is the birthplace of the world's wine, according to the former Soviet Union excavated 10 grape seeds archaeological research in Georgia in 1965: this is the artificially cultivated vitis vinifera sativa D.C D variety grape 7000-8000 years ago, is the oldest variety in human history! This proves that Georgia is the origin of the world's wines. Wine for Georgians is like tea and Chinese, inextricably linked in the ancient history of development.
You're about to set foot in Georgia, a country steeped in history, rich in traditional culture and friendly in its people. There is probably no place where wine is intertwined with culture as much as Georgia. In the countryside, most people still grow their own grapes and make their own wines, and families usually have specialized cellars. Even in Georgian cities, urbanites who maintain a balance between progress and tradition cultivate their own vines.
Wines made using traditional Georgian methods follow the same process that Georgians made wine more than 8,000 years ago. This tradition of making wine from clay pots is closely linked to culture, which UNESCO recognized in 2013 as an important part of humanity's cultural heritage. This distinction is not just about treating these ancient clay pots as important historical artifacts; It recognizes the enduring power of living traditions. Even Georgian winemakers using modern equipment and techniques such as stainless steel tanks and oak barrels recognize that qvervi is an important part of their heritage, a living symbol of the deep-rooted nature of Georgian wine and the authenticity of Georgian winemaking.
The discovery of grape seeds left over from ancient winemaking is enough to prove that the country has at least 5,000 years of winemaking history, and even unearthed prehistoric antiquities, and that they already understand the importance of pruning. The long history has allowed them to develop at least 500 different grape varieties, most of which are still brewed using traditional ancient methods.
Georgians are born to drink and be hospitable. Legend has it that God wants to give the land of the world to mankind. The Georgians were late for the cup, and all the land was divided. The open-minded and optimistic Georgians were not disappointed, and they invited God to drink with others and bless God. Touched by them, God gave them the best land that had been left to him, and God did not hesitate to give his back garden to the Georgians, who like a god helped to pass on the wine culture from generation to generation.
Real-life Georgia is famous for its warm wine ceremonies. Whenever guests arrive home, they always bring out the best red wine they have in their private collection and share it with them. Their preservation and promotion of traditional practices is also admirable. There is also a story of Stalin and Mao Zedong with Georgian wine. Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong visited the Soviet Union. At a meeting outside Moscow, Mao Zedong saw that Stalin mixed red and white wine to drink, but others did not do so, and was very curious, so he quietly asked the people next to him why, and Stalin heard it. Stalin explained with a little smile under his beard: "This is a long-standing habit, and each wine has its own taste and mellow aroma, especially Georgian wine. I think the smell of a little white in red wine is more intense, like a bouquet of flowers emitting the fragrance of multiple flowers. "Stalin's love of wine stemmed from the fact that he suffered from typhoid fever during his exile, and a well-meaning prison doctor in prison quietly gave him a little red wine and rescued him from the brink of death. Since then, I have been convinced of the miraculous effects of wine.
In the land of wine, only it is Georgia , the birthplace of the world's wines , known as the "back garden of God" with more than 8,000 years of wine history. The Mediterranean climate is ideal for grape growth, fertile land, plenty of sunshine and good quality wines. Winemaking is to nurture life, a bottle of carefully brewed, fully fermented Mestia red wine, is the process of grape ripening to sublimation, brewing is a process, is a sublimation, is the growth process of a grape, is the respect for the life of the grape. Wine was originally the exclusive property of the nobility, and with the improvement of people's living standards, Georgian Mestia wine "put down its posture and walked into thousands of homes", but still maintained a noble temperament and soul.
