Trend reports that Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili , has announced that he intends to stay at his home in Kvareli ,during harvesting, which will begin from August 25, and monitor the process of grape deliveries to wineries.
Saakashvili noted that it is necessary to carry out the harvesting, despite the natural disaster in Kakheti, and added that wineries have received the appropriate instructions on receiving grapes from the vineyards.
As already mentioned a heavy natural disaster happened earlier in Kakheti, and because of it, only 90.000 tons of grapes is planned to collect, instead of previously expected 130,000 tons.
The source also informs that as a result of yesterday’s heavy rain and wind, dozens of homes are flooded in the Kvareli and Lagodekhi regions.
