23.10.2013. Zaza Dugladze, head of Dugladze Wine Company, says that this year, varieties Alexandrouli and Mujuretuli, from which Khvanchkara wine is made, cost 8-10 lari (1 kg). In its turn, 1 bottle of Khvanchkara costs $15, and this price does not include cost of transportation, customs clearance and other expenses, he notes.
Demand on semi-sweet Khvanchkara is mainly observed in Asia and not in Europe and America.
Global demand on sweet wines is reduced, and it is basically consumed in post-Soviet countries, Dugladze notes and adds: correspondingly, Khvanchkara is very welcomed in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, so we rely on these markets.
