In Kakheti, Georgia’s best-known wine region, the most iconic “technology” is buried: qvevri clay vessels set into the ground. UNESCO recognises the method, archaeology traces grape wine back to the Neolithic, and today’s harvest figures show a living industry—supported by protected microzones like Tsinandali, Mukuzani and Kindzmarauli. A story where origin is measurable, not mythical.
