It is not clear what the wine bar and political statements in the field of tourist services and recreation have to do with it.
It immediately becomes clear that Russians are not welcome here.
I support the rest of the reviews. As soon as they hear Russian, there are no seats right away and they don't understand anything, they look you in the eye and switch to another guest on principle.
How wonderful impressions kill!
I trusted my emotions, I didn't read the reviews.
The last time we visited Georgia was in the fall of 2021, one of the unforgettable impressions we acquired was a visit to the 8000 Vintages boutique. Pleasant service, Georgian-English-Russian speaking staff, excellent snacks, excellent Georgian wine!
They were not too lazy and brought with them several bottles of wine recommended by them.
However, May 2024 killed all my impressions from the previous trip.
At the entrance to the boutique, the Ukrainian flag, covered with the flag of the European Union, was alerted.
Russian russians flatly refused to speak, and they asked to replace the consultant with a Russian-speaking one in English. They refused.
They turned around and left. DISAPPOINTMENT is all.
It is a pity that when they join the European Union, they will NOT sell Georgian wines.
To sell on time is to anticipate it!
Staff:
The guys are professionals, they help you choose the wine very correctly, there is a possibility of preliminary free tasting
Meal:
Plates with different cheeses and sausages are very convenient for gatherings, they are very balanced
Hummus is not very good, but the rest is great
I don't remember the name of the plate in the photo, but it's very tasty
Minuses:
They do not book with Russians through the Internet
Everything is fine in the kitchen, delicious snacks, a very good selection of wine. The service is so-so, perhaps related to nationality. A cozy atmosphere does not work
Russian Russian, if you speak Russian or look like a Russian, you will not be welcome here. They will pretend that none of the staff speaks either Russian or English. For all questions about wine, we don't have that. In a store with 8000 items, there is no wine that was presented at the wine festival, which is sold only in their store. The attitude is disgusting. I hope the profit will be the same.
I wanted to buy chacha, but the consultant pretended that he did not understand Russian. Although chacha, in my opinion, will sound the same in Russian and English.
Unfortunately, if you are Russian, you are simply not noticed. I went to the cashier with the selected wine and wanted to buy wine, the seller looked at me and just left.
The choice of wine is huge, they will advise you, you can taste it.
They do not perceive the Russian language, they communicate perfectly in English or Georgian.
We bought there in full.
We went in with the guys to drink wine, reasonable prices, excellent choice, good service, the waiters advised good wine. There were no problems that we were from Russia, although we were a bit noisy.
The paradise of the local spill.
The eyes run away from such a variety. It's good that there are always consultants around to help with the choice.
I've been there many times - I've never regretted it.
The wine selection is simply top. The best assortment.
But the staff works disgusting. They don't meet, they don't greet, they don't notice, they advise on the choice too badly. The glasses are brought dirty and anyhow, even for expensive wine, the dishes are not in a hurry to clean.
My husband and I spoke Russian to each other, and we spoke English to the staff, and we didn't notice any special relationship. A great place, we tasted different wines, we sat very pleasantly. Yes, Ukraine is supported here. If you are not ready for this, go to another place)
Super service from the staff. You can choose a wine and calmly test it at a table, and then type everything you liked. The wine selection is impressive.

There were no problems in the store. The employee picked up several bottles of wine at my request, communicated with her in English (I asked English or Russian). There is a lot of choice, I liked everything.

The selection of wines is huge, but it is more relevant as a store.
As a wine shop, it's not very much: the fuss, the staff can't recommend anything, the complete absence of a kitchen (only snacks and snacks), a politicized and unfriendly atmosphere, a murky scheme with wines by the glass through the vending machine and a choice of 5-6 passing names.
In Russian, everyone stops at once. As soon as they hear Russian, there are no tables at once. Behind the counter, the price of a bottle is thrown on top of the price for a glass and the price for a bucket for cooling wine with a total cost of 1/3 of a bottle ...
I categorically do not recommend it.
As soon as they hear Russian, they pretend that they do not understand. Unfortunately, we do not speak English. If you are from Russia, know that you are not welcome here
I didn't like the service
Frankly, it took a long time, although the hall was empty, and it was in the afternoon, after lunch
Us and another table
It's a pity they don't speak Russian
We heard that we were speaking Russian among ourselves, and we immediately started speaking English with the staff and that's it - there are no tables, goodbye. Although there were tables
We tried white and red wines of only a couple of types. We bought a bottle of kindzmarauli. You can still eat there not cheap. They do not speak Russian to support Ukraine.
A huge selection of wines. My eyes are running away

Very incompetent consultants in the first place. They sold wine, which sizzled like champagne when opened, of course there was almost vinegar inside. I came to return it, I wasted my time. As a result, we do not refund the money, here is another wine and gives you the most ordinary saperavi, although kindzmarauli was bought in a high price segment. And you can't do anything. Avoid it, then I found out about them - my story is not the first
