TL;DR
For cheaper fruit in Batumi, participants suggest walking through the produce shops around Inasaridze and Kobaladze streets and comparing prices. In summer 2026, homemade wine was bought at Kobaladze 8a for 8–10 GEL per liter, draft wine from metal barrels at Agrohub for around 12–15 GEL per 1.5 liters, and discounted beer at Spar. A bottle of wine in a shop starts at roughly 15 GEL, according to an August 2026 estimate.
In late August 2026 a participant estimated that a bottle of wine in a Batumi shop starts at roughly 15 GEL, while at the airport a similar bottle costs 50–70 GEL. She therefore suggested buying wine in advance at a wine shop after tasting a few varieties at leisure.
Asked in August 2026 for an affordable dry white from chain stores within 20 GEL a bottle, a participant suggested looking in the big Carrefour for Tsinandali, Pirosmani or Mtsvane, with Rkatsiteli as the best pick; Tsitska for those who like a tart taste, and orange Kakhuri as another option.
If you are staying near Nijaradze Street on the edge of town: in July 2026 participants who had tried plenty of wine named the white from the wine shop on that street as the best — 18 GEL per liter, with tasting before you buy.
Participants liked the draft wine from metal barrels at Agrohub; one of them recalled in July 2026 that it cost around 12–15 GEL for 1.5 liters.
For discounted beer, the July 2026 tip was Spar. Wines such as Tsinandali, the same participant said, are often available for 8–10 GEL in various shops around town.
There are many fruit shops around Inasaridze and Kobaladze streets. As participants wrote in early July 2026, prices vary noticeably from shop to shop, so it is worth comparing a few before you buy.
