Georgia's strong grape spirit, similar to grappa, often homemade and offered to guests.
Boat-shaped cheese bread with egg yolk.
Large twisted dumplings; hold by the knot and don't eat it.
Feasting culture (supra) with a toastmaster (tamada).
The world's most planted red grape: full-bodied, tannic, with blackcurrant, cedar and mint. The backbone of Left Bank Bordeaux.
Softer and plummier than Cabernet, with chocolate notes. Pétrus, one of the world's most expensive wines, is almost all Merlot.
Light-bodied, silky red with cherry, raspberry and earthy notes. Difficult to grow, which is why great Burgundy is so prized.
Dark, peppery red. Called Syrah in France (savoury, smoky) and Shiraz in Australia (riper, jammy).
Inky, plush red with plum and violet. Argentina made it famous, grown at high altitude in the Andes.
Spain's signature red: cherry, leather and tobacco, often aged in oak. Labels show ageing: Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva.
