Tbilisi hosted the 15th international exhibition of wine and alcoholic beverages, WINEXPO 2023

Tbilisi is hosting the 15th international wine and spirits exhibition, WINEXPO 2023. The  Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Mr. Otar Shamugia, the director of the exhibition center "ExpoGeorgia", Mr. Resan Kikawa, and the chairman of the Georgian International Wine Award jury, master of Wine, M.r Tim Atkin, made opening remarks at the exhibition.

"The state has made significant efforts to promote Georgian wine over the years, and as a result, the entire world is aware that Georgia is the homeland of wine, with a history of 8,000 years of continuous grape growing and wine making."
Every year, our wine export rate increases. We exported 103 million litres of wine last year, 23 million more than the previous year. We believe these are significant numbers;

We must maintain this upward trend this year as well. All of the abovementioned results from our joint efforts with the business sector and the government, and I am confident it will be further improved. The state will allocate even more resources to display our wine at all significant events and exhibits in the following years. Our entrepreneurs can count on our support," Mr Otar Shamugia stated.
The international wine and alcoholic beverage exhibition WINEXPO is one of the significant winemaking events in the Caucasus region, involving various industry-related activities.
