Concept

The Idea Behind 8000 Vintages

8000 Vintages exists to make the discovery of Georgian wine thoughtful, transparent and genuinely open.

Every wine in the collection is chosen through an independent selection process and a blind tasting, so that what is judged is what is in the bottle.

The collection spans established producers, small family cellars and emerging winemakers working their first vintages.

The goal is simple: every great wine earns its place, regardless of the size of the winery behind it.

Every bottle should be discovered for what is inside it, not for the name on the label.

About us

From a Wine Shop to a Wine Community

What began as a wine shop is now a platform built around discovery, independent selection and a direct connection between winemakers and the people who drink their wine — an online store, wine bars, guided tastings, curated collections and a community around all of it.

Our Mission

To make exceptional Georgian wine easier to discover, and to give every deserving winemaker an equal opportunity to be found.

We created 8000 Vintages with a simple belief: every great wine deserves to be discovered for what is inside the bottle, not for the name on the label.

What We Believe In

The principles that guide how we select wines, support winemakers, and build our community.

Quality comes first.

Independent Selection

Wines are evaluated through an independent selection process focused on what is inside the bottle.

The wine speaks before the label.

Blind Tasting

Blind tasting helps create a fairer and more objective approach to wine selection.

Great wine can come from anywhere.

Equal Opportunity

We give small family cellars and emerging producers the opportunity to stand alongside established wineries.

Discovery is better when shared.

Wine Community

We bring together wine lovers, winemakers, experts, and experiences to create a living community around Georgian wine.
