31.03.2014. There are interruptions in the export of wine from Georgia to Belarus, although formally the export is not stopped.
The sale of wine to Ukraine and Russia is continuing without any restrictions, according to Levan Davitashvili, head of Georgia’s National Wine Agency.
Media in Belarus have reported that Georgian wine is disappearing from the shelves not only in shops and supermarkets, but also from specialist shops.
Some people expect Russia to create obstacles for Georgia as a means to scare the country into not signing a treaty with the EU, especially on the historical background of the Russian wine embargo introduced in 2006.
After the change of government in Georgia, this embargo was lifted and export of wine to Russia was resumed.
