Can you believe that 2026 is approaching faster than The Polar Express? We can’t. It feels like yesterday we were working on Georgian Rosé and Summer Cocktail articles, and now we’re already looking ahead to the new year. We hope it brings plenty of curiosity and discovery, so here is our list of Georgian wines that are still on the rarer side, yet fully available to UK drinkers.

Finding a great wine and cheese combination is one of the great pleasures of the table, and Georgian wines offer exciting, sometimes unexpected opportunities for such pairings, especially with the rich diversity of British cheeses. Here are six satisfying combinations for you to enjoy!

For the first time, the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) held its wine judging sessions in Batumi, the vibrant capital of Georgia’s Black Sea region, Adjara.

Georgia offers a rich selection of festive bottles for your holiday table—from clay-fermented amber wines to complex reds and intense dessert wines. Whether you're planning a traditional Christmas dinner with roast turkey and stuffing or reaching for festive desserts such as mince pies with dried fruit and spice, or rich classics like sticky toffee pudding, there's a Georgian wine for every course.

What to Bring to a Party When Everyone Else Is Bringing Champagne?

Let’s face it: when you are asked to bring over a bottle of bubbly, most people reach for Champagne or perhaps Prosecco if they’re feeling practical. It’s a safe choice, instantly recognisable, and guaranteed to sparkle in the glass. But, well, if you want to stand out without overspending, you could pour something just as festive, plus with an exciting, a bit exotic story!

November is a pragmatic month. Budgets are under review, inboxes are full, and everyone is preparing for the holiday rush. Well, the good news is that Georgian wines deliver quality and an interesting story at an accessible price point! Regardless of whether you’re a buyer looking to expand a list, a CEO planning the office party, or a wine lover restocking before Christmas, there is something for you to try.

The clocks have switched to mulled wine time! Early dusk on festively lit streets, a chill in the air, a scarf around your neck… everything is calling for a mug of warm, spiced wine.
