Visiting Georgia's wine regions, pursuing qvevri wines

Jamie Goode visits Georgia for the first time. This is the country that has a strong claim as being the cradle of wine, where grape vines were first domesticated. And through some 8000 years of unbroken wine history, an ancient way of making wine in large clay vessels called qvevri has survived. Goode visits wine cellars where qvevri are still used, and goes to meet a qvevri maker, one of the few keeping this tradition alive. But such is the local and international demand for these vessels, there's a two year wait should you want to buy one.

Are you familiar with Aladasturi Red 2018 or Tsolikouri Orange 2018? I am looking for popular Georgian wines both red and white/orange! However, the white wine that I am looking for I want to be more yellow and cloudy without being too sweet. Same with red, not sweet. For reds, I am looking for something that is more of the fruit punch/ruby red see-through color rather than a dark red.

I’m looking for the most traditional possible and something that is definitely popular for sure.

Suggestions?
