Georgian Wine - National Wine Agency

Quality

“A certificate confirms that a product placed on a particular market complies with the applicable requirements. If a wine producer avoids the certification process, this may raise questions regarding the quality of its products. One of the principal objectives of the National Wine Agency is precisely to safeguard the quality of Georgian wine,” said Zurab Vacharadze, Deputy Chairman of the National Wine Agency. 

During the transitional stage in the development of Georgia’s wine industry, certain certification services were provided free of charge. Today, however, the situation has changed: more than 3,000 wine producers are registered in Georgia, Georgian wine is sold in nearly 70 countries worldwide, and annual exports average 100 million litres. Accordingly, at this stage of the industry’s development, there is no longer a need for certification services to remain entirely free of charge.
