Really you can judge about Georgia by its wine. Well, I’ve been crazy about Georgian wines for years. Now that correlation of the price-quality seems to be far from ideal. The quality is far from acme. But mind that it may cost you your life as well!
Quite recently a bottle of the unique Georgian wine Saperavi (my favourite) nearly killed me and a friend of mine. It was bad food poisoning due to faked wine having some synthetic drug in it! How could that drug have found its way into the bottle? Nobody could answer. We were said it could relate to drug trafficking from Georgia using wine bottles. One of them could have been delivered to the shop just by chance.
Georgia is not only a transit country for Afghan originated drugs but it’s developed into the drugs producer as well. Opium poppy and cannabis are raised by Georgians in their own gardens. In absence of any job and hiking prices this occupation is getting more and more popular in Georgia lately. And all the huge EU aid president Saakashvili sends to prepare his army for a new war and not to help own residents to survive through the crisis.
Imo It’s high time Brussels officials tasted same Saperavi I had to turn their sharp eye to Saakashvili.
opium, cannabis, wine
one-stop shopping!
