Chacha is a grape brandy traditionally made in Georgia and called grape vodka. In the former Soviet Union, after chacha wine, it is one of the most famous and popular Georgian alcoholic beverages. They started bottling chacha in glass bottles in the last century, and Georgian chacha was quite popular. Although chacha has historically been a traditional part of Georgian gastronomic culture, bottled and labeled chacha only became widespread after Georgia's independence two decades ago. Consumers loved it in Western countries.
A product made from other fruits is often called fruit chacha, which must be corrected. The main difference between vodka and fruit chacha is that vodka is obtained from wheat products and distilled in a multi-plate distiller. In the case of chacha, the fruit is crushed like a grape, fermented into a henchman-chacha yan, and only the obtained "wine porridge" is poured. Although fruit vodka may be technologically close to the method of making chacha, chacha can only be called an alcoholic drink produced from grapes, as the term "chacha" is associated with grape chacha, and no other fruit has chacha.
How to choose chacha and how it differs from Vodka
When the wine is fermented, and the winemakers draw the new wine, they make chacha. Of course, chacha is not a homogeneous drink, and the drinker's handwriting is also different. It should be noted that all regions of Georgia have their own style of chacha. However, the most critical problem facing all payers is filtering the chacha.
Vodka is a word of Arab-Persian origin, and it refers to drinks obtained by distillation. Chacha is made from the remaining grape mass.

You can easily choose your favorite drink, buy it online and receive it free delivered to Tbilisi or your country house.

This is derived from the Rkatsitli, Kis, and Kakhuri green grape varieties. It has a pleasant sweet taste and is distinguished by a walnut, almond, and floral aroma.
Also, Telavi Wine Cellar's cask chacha, harvested in Kakheti from the Rkatsitli grape variety, uses the traditional distillation method. It is aged in oak barrels. It has a delicate, vanilla, and oaky taste and vanilla aroma and is characterized by a straw color.

And if you are looking for a different chacha, pay attention to the ancient Kakheti tarragon chacha. The drink is made from grape chacha, using the traditional Georgian method, from Kakheti.
According to the classical way, the chacha from grapes is stored in a jug during the winter with wine. In the spring, it is removed from the pitcher and distilled in a copper vessel. After the chacha is refined, it is planted on freshly picked tarragon leaves for six months. This gives it a green color and a gentle menthol aroma. One of the most popular choices will also be Tbilvino's Chacha Saperavi. This Tbilvino chacha is made using the traditional Georgian distillation method, 100% from the Georgian grape variety - Saperavi. It is characterized by the aroma of Saperavi grapes, which pleasantly blends with ripe yellow plums and almonds. It is characterized by a velvety soft taste.
