The President of Georgia visited the Tchiakani Factory and attended the process of buying grapes. Mikheil Saakashvili also spoke to the employed personnel and received information about the price and selling conditions from the locals. According to the President, the conditions will improve even more in the following years.
While talking to the farmers the Head of State noted that the Georgian wine should remain of high quality in the following years. Additionally, he stated that it is important to popularize it and increase the amount of production. As the President noted, this is the only way of finding our place on the international market.
“We have to have advertising and we have to double the production. The people in Georgia, who do not love Georgia, say that our wine is worthless. Our wine is the best. Senators are arriving now; yesterday I had 3 ministers visiting…we have to familiarize the entire world with our wine. People should benefit from wine, but it is not only an economic weapon, it is an ideological one as well. No matter how many official meetings I have I still come here to attend the vintage and visit all of the factories. The most important thing right now is to store the harvest and make sure the benefits reach every family” - noted the President while talking to them.
