List of Georgian wine appellations facts for kids

Georgia is a country known for its long history of making wine. For thousands of years, people in Georgia have grown grapes and made delicious wines. To protect these special wines and their unique qualities, Georgia has created a system of "appellations."

An appellation is like a special label for a product that comes from a specific place. It means the product, in this case, wine, gets its unique taste and quality because of where it's grown and how it's made in that particular area. It's a way to make sure that a wine called "Akhasheni," for example, really comes from the Akhasheni region and follows certain rules.

Georgia's national intellectual property center, Sakpatenti, has officially registered 29 of these special wine places. This list helps everyone know which wines come from these famous regions.

Georgia's Special Wine Places

When you see a wine from Georgia, it often has the name of its appellation on the bottle. This tells you a lot about the wine! Each appellation has its own unique soil, climate, and traditional ways of making wine. These factors give the wines their special flavors and characteristics.

Understanding the Wine List

Below is a list of some of Georgia's registered wine appellations. You'll see different details for each one, like the region it's in, the types of grapes used, and whether the wine is red or white.
