The participants of CWSA were judged by more than 100 recognized local and foreign experts – sommeliers, exporters and distributors. The drinks were evaluated during the blind tasting.
The highest awards (double gold medal) received the wines of “Kartuli Vazi“ range (“Saperavi Budeshuri”, “Kindzmarauli”), and another gold medal went to the wine “Mukuzani”.
