| In the southwest, in Adzharia live aboriginals - Georgians, forcefully torn off their native land and turned Moslems in the days of Turkish domination. Nevertheless, Adzharians have preserved their national character and native Georgian language. Now they are hard to distinguish from Georgians, except for some traditional ways.
There, as well as everywhere in Georgia the culture of hospitality and feasts with magnificent wine is a must (it is only in Kedsky area of Adzharia that they make unique rose wine from unique chkhaveri grapes). According to tradition the first toast announced by toastmaster in Adzharia is to “The God and Peace”. An as the feast goes on everyone is to add at least something to this. |
