In the 1970s, famous Georgian pharmacist Irakli Natroshvili created a recipe for a nonalcoholic drink based on Saperavi grape but it wasn't actually made until 40 years later when his son Giorgi decided to start a new business based on his father’s recipe. With some deeper research into his father’s scientific works, Giorgi was able to launch the unique "wine tea" made using highly technological methods and the Saperavi grape. The first test versions have already been sent to the USA and China and the founder has his eye on the European markets too.
