Senakuri, a Russian company founded in Georgia, leader of Georgian wine sales in Russia until 2006, has refused to return to the Russian market, as it is not included in the list of manufacturers willing to sell their products to Russia, RBC Daily reports.
Senakuri was well-known in Russia for its Vinodel-Collection. According to ILS, it sent 6.2 million liters of wine to Russia in 2005, which equaled to 17.2% of all Russian wine purchases. Every fifth bottle of Georgian wine in Russia in 2004 was made by Senakuri.
