Sakpatenti has registered a geographical indication for Qvevri (Pitcher).

Qvevri (Pitcher) is the first non-food product to be added to the State Register of Geographical Indications. Registration as a geographical indicator reaffirms its unique connection to the history, culture, and identity of our country, therefore assisting in the promotion of Georgian wine on international markets.

It's worth noting that in 2013, the Georgian traditional method of pouring wine into a pitcher was designated a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Site, demonstrating the method's distinctiveness and conveying to the rest of the world that wine is a vital element of historic Georgian culture.
