Georgia is a country
in Eurasia to the east of the Black Sea, most of which is located
in the South Caucasus, while a portion of the territory lies
in the North Caucasus. It shares borders with Russia in the
north and Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the south.
Geographically, Georgia is diverse and its natural resources
are abundant. The mixture of Alpine zone in the Caucasus mountains
and the subtropical Black Sea coast of western Georgia attracts
many tourists, because the country is considered both an excellent
ski resort and an excellent sea resort. Georgia has one of
the most ancient wine-making traditions in the world. Georgian
wine is characterized as naturally semi-sweet and very competitive
with French, Spanish and other Western European wines and is
well-known around the world, especially in Eastern Europe.
Georgia has been called the birthplace of wine, due to archaeological
findings which indicate wine production back to 5000 BC. |
