When you’re shopping for bottles from Bordeaux , prices can get steep. This legendary region produces some of the best wines in the world, with old-vine grapes that offer a signature intensity and structure that can’t be replicated anywhere else. That means Bordeaux and similarly prolific regions have name-brand appeal that allows their producers to price their wines higher, which can make it even harder to get your money’s worth at the bottle shop.

And along the way, it lays its roots down in Georgia. Contrary to what historians once believed, archaeological evidence tells us that winemaking was happening in Georgia well before the country adopted Christianity in the 4th century.
