Georgians cannot imagine even the most exquisite meal without their wines famous all over the world. Centuries-old wine culture is an organic part of everyday life there. Wine, as it I said, is an obligatory item in the assortment of dishes. Depending on their colors wines are divided into white, pink and red. It depends not only on used grapes but also on wine manufacturing techniques. According to sugar content the wines are graded as dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet and natural sweet. Depending on carbonic gas content they can be sparkling and still. Still wines in turn are distinguished as being ordinary, branded and vintage. Ordinary are young wines which are consumed after three-month-time after grapes have been processed. Branded wines have higher quality made of certain grapes and aged at least one year.
