i think that calling Georgia ‘up and coming’ for wine is a bit odd. They have credible claims as the region with the oldest evidence of wine making and have been consistently (and successfully) keeping up with that tradition ever since. Georgia and Moldavia were consistently the two regions producing luxury wines throughout the history of the Russian empire and then Soviet Union. I agree with you on India and China.
PS: the very old Georgian wine making tradition also comes with a pretty lethal toasting tradition that makes it hard to go through a Georgian dinner without getting drunk and spending 3+ hours at the table!!
