Prime Minister of Georgia Vano Merabishvili visited the family of Apriashvilis in the village of Kardenakhi, Kakheti Region and participated in the vintage together with the members of the family. Afterwards, Prime Minister went to the Gurjaani Kotekhi wine factory together with the head of the family and attended the process of grape purchase from farmers.
The representatives of the factory said their factory could receive and refine 150 tones of grapes daily. The factories of similar capacity are already operating in the villages of Velistsikhe, Zegani and Gurjaani eradicating the problem of grape selling in the region.
