Russian experts to test Georgian wine

Russian Chief Sanitary Inspector Gennady Onishchenko said that three groups of specialists will visit Georgia today and will be testing 44 enterprises producing wine and 4 producing mineral water this week.

Inspectors will give ratings to their products, which will then determine whether to allow Georgian manufacturers to enter the Russian market or not.

The inspection had initially been planned on February 11.

Russia had banned Georgian wine and mineral water in spring 2006.
