26.06.2012. On 24 June 2012 Professor Kym Anderson spoke about Georgian wine industry at the AAWE-ICABR workshop "Technology and Innovation in the Wine Industry" in Avellino, Italy. Professor Anderson's presentation was entitled: ‘Is Georgia the next ‘new’ wine-exporting country? The roles of traditional vs. new technologies and trade alliances’.
Professor Anderson’s presentation offers insights into Georgia’s place in the global history of wine markets and its potential. Yet another wine-producing country to watch with interest! Highlights: Georgia has been producing and exporting wine for thousands of years, and until the trade embargo in 2006, the lion’s share went to Russia. Advantages include low labour and viticultural land costs by Western standards and recognition of Georgian GIs by the EU. Ukraine is currently the largest importer of Georgian wine but there is potential in the rest of the CIS countries and Europe as well as Asia.
