Wine Library
Founded by those deeply inspired by 80 centuries of winemaking, Wine Library has been on the market for two years, boasting two shops and a third in the works, and offering 800 types of wine from 200 different winemakers. Wine Library was the first Georgian company in its field to offer online sales during the pandemic. “You can choose wine, purchase it, and get it delivered on our page, but we also suggest many interesting ideas to help people unite over wine even in these times of self-isolation. The platform helps small factories to keep functioning and helps the country’s economy develop and grow,” said Marketing Manager Mariam Chikovani.

#TBCforYou
Within the scope of the program #TBCforYou, and with the involvement of TBC employees, 100 high-schoolers living in Georgia’s regions will be given laptops. Students were chosen from vulnerable groups, the families of whom do not own personal computers and do not have access to the internet, meaning their education is being impeded at times when everything has moved online. The generous project also includes internet fee coverage every month until the school year ends.
