Georgian Minister of Environment Protection and Agriculture Davit Songhulashvili visited the Vintage Coordination Facility in Gurjaani town of the eastern Kakheti region.

The price for undamaged Saperavi grapes with a sugar content of at least 21% is set at 1.50 GEL, whereas for substandard Saperavi, where the sugar content is between 17% and 21% and/or the grapes are partially damaged, the price will be 0.90 GEL.
