Georgian Wine DB, a Field Guide to a Country’s Wine Culture
A multilingual guide and searchable database covering Georgian wine varieties, regions, production methods, history, and PDOs.
Field notes
The database separates historical variety names from synonyms and homonyms, rather than treating the approximate total of 525 as a simple list of currently cultivated grapes. Sample records pair local, Latin, and Georgian spellings with regional and cultivation information; the Rtskhili entry also cites VIVC 10297. The surrounding reference material compares qvevri practices in Kakheti and Imereti, explains skin-contact styles, and links the historical claims to archaeological and institutional sources.
