Went to this Russian store across the road ...met a Georgian lady running the store. She told me what was hard to believe (untill I checked wikipedia) ...Georgia is the birthplace of wines, which have been made from 5000BC !

It's probably the most agrarian country in Europe (Georgia, a Greek name means "farmer") but has been under Russian subjugation for a while...Western Europe continually seeking places to procure basics, seems to be oblivious of this nation.
