The 8,000-year history of Georgian wine is presented in a new three-minute animation made by Georgian wine company Tbilvino, which was released on December 6.

The animation opens with images of cavemen drinking wine in a cave, continuing with the arrival of the Argonauts for the Golden Fleece, the creation of the Georgian alphabet, Saint Nino from Cappadocia bringing Christianity to Georgia while holding a grapevine cross in her hand, and the establishment of the current capital city of Tbilisi.

Queen Tamar and her enthronement also features in the clip, depicting her presiding over the apex of the Georgian Golden Age.
