Qvevri Wine: The World’s Oldest Winemaking Tradition, Only in Georgia

Qvevri wine is a true heritage of Georgia and, according to archaeologists, represents the oldest known method of winemaking in the world—dating back over 8,000 years. It’s remarkable to think that this ancient tradition has been passed down through generations. Wine is crafted in large clay vessels, called Qvevris, just as our ancestors did. After the grapes are crushed, they’re placed in these earthenware jars and left to ferment naturally for around five months, with no additives or interference. The result is a wine unlike any other in the world—deeply authentic and rooted in tradition. Qvevri wine can only be found in Georgia, so get ready to forget everything you’ve tasted until now!
