BUY GEORGIAN WINE!

Remember that counterfeiting of the better Georgian wines *was* extremely commonplace (especially Kindzmarauli), inside Georgia included. After wake-up calls courtesy of the Euros, the Georgian government has cracked down very sharply on this but no one seems to be willing to say that labels out of Georgia are 100% likely to be legit. caveat emptor

This looks like a very legitimate company:
