01.08.2014. Demand for Georgian wine reduced in the Russian market, wine companies explain this by the end of the sale boom and start of the stable sales.
Director of Schuchmann Wines Georgia Nutsa Abramishvili notes that there was a great demand and good payment terms in Russia, the exporters paid in advance and reserved products.
"I do not know what will be in the case of Russia in 2015, however, today 40% of our exports go to this market, and in 2015 we plan to reduce its share to 20%, as a result of diversification of other markets. Diversification will occur towards the American, Asian, European and CIS states where we are already present - in about 15 countries - and we plan to expand", - Abramishvili said.
Schuchmann Wines Georgia began to export its products to Russia in the fall of last year, in the first half of 2014 the company's total exports have tripled compared with the same period of 2013.

"These are political processes and the National Wine Agency cannot solve them, there should be political will," - she adds.
