Frank Cornelissen talks about his trip to Georgia to explore the origins of winemaking. After seeing a video with Hugh Johnson where people were making wines in qvevri, he was amazed by the beauty of the land and the simplicity of the winemaking. That trip started him on the road to exploring kvevri as an option for fermenting wines.
There is some question as to the exact spelling in English, we often see qvevri. In Georgian: ქვევრი.
