As the Georgian economist, one of the founders of the wine club “Marani” and the president of the joint-stock company “The Georgian House” Giorgi Skhirtladze noted, the event made a great impression on guests and they expressed their will better to acquaint with Georgia and the Georgian wine.
According to Skhirtladze’s information, the business segment in Sweden does not know well the Georgian wine and is also less acknowledged with Georgia, as the homeland of wine. In due to this reason, the wine club “Marani” was established and it has lots of initiatives in its agenda regarding the popularization of the Georgian wine. In April and in September “Marani” with the “Georgian Wine Club” will hold two significant wine tastings for the business sector representatives, the Georgian cuisine will be also presented there.
Should be noted that in comparison with 2013 year, the Georgian wine export to Sweden was more than double in 2014. Thus, events of this kind will add their contribution in making Georgian wines interesting for the Swedish business sector and consequently, the demand for the Georgian wine will increase in the market of Sweden.
