The whole world drinks French red wine, and the French drink Georgian red wine. Why?

Georgia is currently recognized as the birthplace of red wine. In many places, Georgian red wine is considered as the best red wine in the world. There is even a rumor that "the whole world drinks French red wine, but the French are drinking Georgian red wine". Then why on earth? The western part of Georgia has a humid subtropical maritime climate with an annual precipitation of 1000-4000mm, while the eastern part has a dry subtropical climate with an annual precipitation of 300-600mm. There is plenty of sunshine in summer, mild in winter and no freezing injury. Coupled with the diversity of Georgian soil, there are mountain soil, mountain grass soil, mountain black soil, humus carbonate soil, red soil, black chestnut soil, loess and so on. In addition, the terrain here is complex and the weather is changeable, which is very suitable for grape growth.

As mentioned earlier, some archaeologists pointed out that Georgian grapes were first discovered 7-8 thousand years ago. In addition, some linguists have found that the word "wine" in English, French, German and Russian comes from the Georgian word "ywino" in Kartveli. Georgia was once an important hub of the Silk Road, so it is reasonable for wine to spread to Asia, Europe and other places. Until today, there is only Georgia in the world, and every family will make wine. Unique technology Georgia has its own unique brewing technology that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Wine is produced in clay pots, which are buried in the ground and show their mouths. The capacity of each pot can reach 3000-5000 liters. Buried pottery pots can ferment and preserve grape juice at room temperature of 65,438+04-65 and 438+05 degrees. Grapes can only become wine after 3-4 years of natural low-temperature fermentation underground. The wine brewed by this technology is strong and full, which is better than the wine fermented in wooden barrels. Compared with European wine, this kind of wine is more beneficial to people's health.

Saceravi, the representative of Georgian dry red wine, is produced in Kakhki province, Georgia. It is brewed by Tirihani Valley Winery, the oldest winery in the world, and uses high-quality Sabravi grapes unique to Georgia. The wine is dark in color, full-bodied, high in acidity and tannin, with dark fruit and salty taste. The initial entrance of liquor is slightly sharp, but it is suitable for bottle aging and has great aging potential. Late red honey will also be used for mixed brewing, mainly to increase color and acidity, and to obtain high-quality semi-sweet fortified wine and port wine.
