Following its successful launch in 2021, the Georgian Wine Indie Trade Alliance Fund is back for 2022.

The fund offers UK indies the opportunity to apply for grants to expand and promote their Georgian wine listings. It recognises the important role of Indies in bringing Georgian wine to UK consumers. Participants in 2021 dramatically increased their sales of Georgian wines both during the promotion and after.

The availability of Georgian Wine in the UK has increased dramatically since 2020, with more than 50 brands now imported into the UK by both national agencies and specialist importers.
