Where to buy good quality wine in Batumi?

A different view from September 2026: bottled wine in shops is of standard quality, and the more expensive, the better. Draught wine sold in Old Town shops, in this participant's opinion, is a matter of taste.

On dry wines, late August 2026: travelers tried KTW wines by the glass and liked only the Rkatsiteli as a light summer wine; a bottle of dry red Otskhanuri Sapere for 45 GEL did not impress them either. Other participants, by contrast, praised KTW, suggested Vinaveri and noted that the method matters — European-style or qvevri. Asked about wine shops with tastings (the question was about Tsinandali Wine Shop), a participant mentioned Skin-contact and said that, as far as he understood, tastings there are paid and led by a sommelier.

A traveler recalled from a previous trip (asking in August 2026) that in one of Batumi's large supermarkets a local producer had set up a draught-wine counter: huge stainless-steel tanks from which you could choose quite decent wine. He could not remember the supermarket's name.

A tip from August 2026: go to a good wine shop, ask for Khvanchkara and choose a pricier bottle — then the wine will be good.

In August 2026 a traveler complained that ordinary shops in Batumi mostly stock artificial-tasting wine with added colouring, so you have to make an effort to find decent or homemade wine. He said he had not expected this from Georgia.

For the best selection, in August 2026 participants recommended Wine Gallery in Tbilisi: a huge range for any budget and a cellar downstairs selling draught wine. According to the review, both the bottled and draught wines were good.

In August 2026 a participant said he came across a large shop on Tursa Street with a sizeable range of bottled wine for different budgets.

In August 2026 participants discussed a wine counter at the Agrohub supermarket: a traveler asked whether it was a particular producer or the general wine section. A participant explained that it is primarily a brand outlet of a Kakhetian wine producer.
