Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has made waves across the cinema-loving world, and Georgia could hardly sit this one out. After all, this is a country with around 8,000 years of winemaking history. Ancient heroes meet ancient wines: both need patience, courage and the ability to go through a very long feast.

So, which Georgian bottles would we cast as the characters of The Odyssey?

There are few things more British than making the most of a sunny weekend with friends, family and a barbecue. Whether you're grilling burgers in the garden, cooking seafood by the coast or serving colourful vegetable skewers, the right wine can take the whole meal up a notch.

The perception of rosé has been changing towards more serious and worth drinking year-round, but admit it: it's still THE kind of wine you want to guzzle while floating on your inflatable flamingo.

Summer is the ultimate rosé season. While Provence and pink Spanish blends still dominate supermarket shelves, Georgian rosé deserves a place in your ice bucket too.

Qvevri, amber wine and other clay-fermented wines are no longer niche topics reserved for wine geeks but a part of a global conversation. One of the people bringing clay wines on a bigger stage is Isobel Salamon, an international judge, consultant, and clay-fermented wine expert who is a passionate advocate of Georgian wine, too.

There are countries people visit for landmarks, and there are countries people remember through conversations, meals and toasts that somehow turn into life advice. As you can guess, Georgia firmly belongs to the second category.

Four Georgian Wine Stories for Father’s Day

Father's Day gift guides tend to be predictable: a bottle of whisky or aged Cabernet, or a little symbolic trinket bought at the last minute, because we are all so busy nowadays.

Georgia offers a different type of a meaningful wine gift for Father's Day. Behind many bottles are stories about fathers and sons, grandparents and grandchildren, family traditions and ideas passed down over generations. 

Here are four Georgian wine stories that are as interesting as the wines themselves, and the best thing is that you can order these wines online and get them delivered to your dad as a special gift! 

Let's see which one appeals to you most.

Summer heatwaves and Georgian wine go really well together — more than many people realise.

While Georgia is often associated with powerful amber wines and bold Saperavi-based reds, the country also produces refreshing whites, lively sparklings, pungent rosés and chillable reds. Moreover, many of these wines are now available by the glass in restaurants and wine bars across London!

Interest in Georgian wine tends to stay strong throughout the summer months, particularly from late May through July, when outdoor dining, picnics and terrace drinking come into full swing. Whether you're looking for something bubbly, fresh, pink, orange or red, here are some of the best Georgian wines to seek out this summer.
