Hello everyone! Where can you find a good selection of wines? Someone recommended “Wine Gallery” near Marjanishvili metro, has anyone bought there?
Yes, their wine selection is excellent. Besides the collection of bottled wine, I recommend taking a look in their basement as well — they have excellent wine on tap there.
Yes! Wine Gallery.
First floor — bottles, basement — wine on tap. Huge assortment, knowledgeable sommeliers, tastings.
Or you can also go here: Wine Code.

They also have knowledgeable sommeliers and a decent selection of wines. In general, they offer tastings almost everywhere. In Goodwill, which is in the basement of Galleria Tbilisi, there are, in my opinion, four different tasting counters. And the selection there is also quite good.
Hi! Does anyone know where you can buy homemade wine in Tbilisi?
Dezerter Bazaar (Dezertirskiy Bazaar). The selection is simply enormous — like a whole wagon and several hundred little carts more. Walk deeper inside, away from the first tourist rows along Abastumani Street — the price per liter will sharply drop from 10–12 lari to 5–7 lari. They’ll happily let you taste it, and you might even find homemade chacha under the counter, or even cognac.
We’ve bought there many times and have already found the vendors we always buy from — not once have we had even the slightest disappointment, if what you want is specifically homemade wine.
But you shouldn’t expect too much from it — if you’re looking for pure taste enjoyment, it’s much better to go to the same Wine Gallery mentioned above. Either in the upper hall listen to the advice of the wine consultant — even within 15–20 lari you can find very interesting bottles — or go down to the lower hall, try factory wines on tap and take with you whichever and however much you like. Prices there also start from about 8–9 lari per liter. 🍷
