Qwhiskey

Qwhiskey is a new alcoholic drink from Georgia. Gigi Tevzadze, a teacher of philosophy and sociology by profession, got the idea of launching the brand a few years ago, preceeded by his interest and wish to create a new Georgian drink. He came up with whiskey made from wine. The ‘Q’ in the name of the brand stands for Qvevri. By subjecting his friends to many tastings, the drink reached its final taste a year and half ago. Later, to technically refine the new aromas of Qwhiskey, Gigi added to his team pharmacologist Aleko Bakuradze and winemaker Giorgi Barisashvili. The Qvevri whiskey is available in a limited number of restaurants and bars and talks have begun to expand the output locally as well as internationally.

Plasticwatcher

The idea of preventing damage caused by plastic waste was the reason behind the establishment of Eka Asatiani’s Georgian start-up Plasticwatcher. The start-up works to collect plastic waste and make iconic items from recycled Polyethylene. It is a model of circular business – reusing already existing resources and waste to create something new. Colorful raincoats, accessories and different items that are put together through this sustainable process will soon be available on an online platform accessible for both Georgian and international customers.

Sadme

Natia Pashurashvili’s start-up ‘Sadme’ offers a great alternative for those looking to escape city life on the weekends but have no idea where to go to. A small, cozy wood cottage near Sioni Lake with a beautifully decorated garden, it offers a great relaxing get-away for tired guests, and demand is on the up. What’s more, it can be used to host extraordinary weddings and parties. Natia notes that she wanted to give people an opportunity to rest near Tbilisi, in a cozy house snuggled in calm, beautiful nature. She says it won’t be long until ‘Sadme’ expands to other beautiful locations of Georgian nature.
