Georgian cuisine and drinking is little known in the west but it's really, really good.
It's a pity the country has been democratically backsliding for a while, which has limited their hopes of tighter integration with the EU.

Maybe it’s Baader-Meinhof but this wine is also a primary plot point in currently airing Apple TV+ adaptation of Drops of God. What are the odds?

Wine is produced in monasteries, beer also. So => is ingrained in Christian culture. The same way marijuana is part of the Hindu culture. Am I right?

Crazy to think that’s roughly around when white people started becoming… white.
It was basically all dark skinned people on the planet before then.

As an Armenian, I think this is bullshit, maybe.

They're very proud of it too, but having spent time in Tbilisi (strong recommend!), there's a very simple reason you can buy French and Australian wine at your local shop, but nobody has bothered to make sure there's a good selection of Georgian wine there.
