With the support of the National Wine Agency and the Embassy of Georgia to the French Republic, Georgian wine was presented this week at two major international exhibitions in France.
Nine qvevri wine producers participated in the international natural wine exhibition RAW Wine Paris, while products from nearly 30 Georgian wine-producing companies were showcased at the large-scale international wine and spirits exhibition Wine Paris.
Wine Paris is one of the most important global exhibitions in the wine industry, traditionally bringing together thousands of visitors, including wine professionals, importers, and media representatives.
RAW Wine is also one of the most distinguished international exhibitions for high-quality natural, organic, and biodynamic wines. The exhibition is organized by renowned French Master of Wine Isabelle Legeron.
During the exhibitions, Chairman of the National Wine Agency Levan Mekhuzla and Deputy Chairman Tamta Kvelaize held meetings with representatives of marketing companies from various countries.
The Wine Paris exhibition was attended by Georgia’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the French Republic, Irakli Kurashvili.
The Georgian stand at Wine Paris was also visited by the President of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), John Barker, who tasted Georgian wines.
“This year’s wine exhibition season traditionally began in Paris. Both exhibitions are very important for Georgian winemakers. The Georgian stand was consistently crowded with visitors and professionals. The meetings held and contacts established here will help Georgian winemakers attract new trade partners and increase wine exports. The National Wine Agency will continue to support Georgian producers this year both in participating in traditional exhibitions and in presenting their products at important events in various formats,” said Levan Mekhuzla, Chairman of the National Wine Agency.
