A Georgian supra is often translated as a feast, but that word barely describes the reality. Yes, there is a lot of food and wine, but the real point of the table is conversation. A supra is where people talk about life, family, memory, the country, sometimes even politics, but in a very particular way. 

We wanted to tell you more about this cultural phenomenon, so that you'll be ready for your wine trip to Georgia (don't tell us you're not eyeing those British Airways tickets for summer!)

There are many articles about women in wine around International Women's Day: It is indeed encouraging to see how many new names are emerging and how many women are choosing to step into the cellar and vineyard, or any aspect of the wine business.

In Georgia, however, the story carries a particular weight. For centuries, women faced a cultural taboo surrounding wine - the salary gap or lack of recognition appeared much later. Winemaking was considered a sacred ritual traditionally carried out by men, much like bread baking was the holy domain of women. Crossing that invisible boundary was believed to disturb the natural order of things.
