As the National Wine Agency reported, the event, which took place in Manchester, was led by a Master of Wine, Sarah Abbott (the Head of the British company Swirl Wine Group, a contractor for the National Wine Agency).

“The event was attended by about 40 guests - sommeliers, wine trade and media representatives.

The Georgian wine importers presented about 60 types of the Georgian wines at the tasting in London, including wines that are not yet sold on the British wine market.

Along with the tasting of the Georgian wines, the presentation of Sarah Abbott included the introduction of the Georgian wine culture, history and vine varieties to the guests.

The United Kingdom is one of the largest importers and consumers of wine worldwide, which, since 2014, has emerged as one of the potentially growing strategic markets for the Georgian wine exports.

As of January-April 2022, 245 653 bottles of wine were exported from Georgia to the United Kingdom, which is 13% more than the same data of the previous year,” - the statement reads.
