Non-qvevri wines tasted in Germany
Tasting of the best Georgian non-qvevri wines was held in the German town of Neustadt an der Weinstraße.
According to the National Wine Agency, wine industry professionals, commercial sector representatives, sommeliers, and journalists participated in the blind tasting event organized within cooperation with German Media Holding Meininger.
The scores secured by the best wines will be published in Weinwirtschaft and SOMMELIER Meininger magazines in September.
The marketing activity represents an additional opportunity to promote Georgian wine and enhance its image in the German market.
Germany is the largest importer and wine-consuming country in Europe. A growing trend in Georgian wine exports has emerged as a result of activities supported by the National Wine Agency and consistent cooperation with Georgian wine producers. Between January and June of this year, nearly 784,000 liters of wine were exported from Georgia to Germany, representing a 22% increase compared to the same period last year.

“According to data from the first six months of 2026, the total tonnage of vessels arriving at Georgian ports has increased by approximately 20% compared to the same period in 2025,” announced Ivane Abashidze, Director of the Maritime Transport Agency of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development.
He emphasised that this milestone was achieved through close cooperation between the public and private sectors, alongside a significant boost in operational efficiency.
“Of particular note are the dredging operations and the seamless functioning of the Maritime Single Window system, which has slashed bureaucratic clearance procedures for vessels from 24 hours to a mere one hour,” Abashidze noted.
“This result demonstrates that vessel delays at Georgian ports are falling daily. Crucially, we are seeing a steady rise in both the total tonnage and capacity of these vessels, which in turn is directly reflected in increased cargo throughput,” the Maritime Chief added.
According to the Maritime Transport Agency, the gross tonnage (GT) of vessels handled at Georgian ports in the first six months of 2026 grew by 19% compared to the same period last year, reaching 10.7 million GT.
