29.05.2014. Georgian wine companies are trying to find an alternative way in order to restore export to Russia. Due to the landslide occurred in the Darial Gorge on May 17, the road connecting Georgia and Russia is still closed. According to Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Telavi Wine Cellar', the Lars customs check-point is the only way for alcoholic beverages from where the products are exported to Russia. Zurab Ramazashvili says that at this stage there is no shortage of the company's wine in Russia thanks to wine stocks, but if the road is not open in the next week , there will be a shortage. In his words, Telavi Wine Cellar exports its products to 22 countries and is less dependent on the Russian market .
Marniskari winery has also suspended wine export to Russia. The company's CEO explains to Georgian radio Commersant that they are looking for alternative routes, but containers loaded with wine are still staying in the Darial gorge and waiting for the resumption of traffic. Lasha Revazishvili notes that at this stage the company doesn’t suffer losses, but if export to Russia is not restored in time, it will create a shortage in the market.
