What Georgian wine should I try in Batumi to get a real sense of the local style (a solid, everyday option, not the fanciest)?

TL;DR
The classic go-to grape varieties are red Saperavi and white Rkatsiteli, sold in every shop. Locally, people often drink cheap dry white at home and semi-sweet red at feasts (supra).
What the community said
The 'Tsinandali' winery outlet (findable on Yandex Maps) has good draft wine at reasonable prices.

There's no wine intentionally made bad — anything sold is considered decent. For an authentic taste, go for the basics: red Saperavi and white Rkatsiteli, available in every store.

At home, locals often drink cheap dry white wine, while at feasts (supra) they go for semi-sweet red. Many people don't even buy wine in stores since they have a relative or friend who makes their own.
