Georgia wine production and perspectives

Nineli Nagervadze

Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

Grape is an important commodity in Georgia. Its biggest percentage is used for winemaking rather than its own consumption as a fruit. Georgia is one of the twenty countries with high numbers in wine production. The main aim of the thesis is to assess the development of the wine market in Georgia between 1992 and 2022 and to identify the main factors that influenced changes in production, exports, and imports. The method of literary research is used to process the first section of the thesis. The second part of the thesis is solely based on the analysis of time series within the chosen timeframe, mainly from the Geostat database. This section assesses the production of wine and its characteristics by grape type and focuses on the importance of the wine commodity for Georgia’s foreign trade. Additionally, self-sufficiency is evaluated for grapes and wine separately. The dissertation outlines that even though there have been inconveniences, Georgia is still keeping its well-deserved position in the wine market segment. One of the most important aspects that will likely have an impact on the future growth of the Georgian wine market is the emphasis on promoting self-sufficiency in the local market.
