How this verdict works

We compare this wine's median price (42.00 GEL) with the median of its cohort — wines of the same producer category and style class (43.60 GEL across 64 wines). Within ±15% is around average; below that is below average; above it is above average.

Under a shop's price are other lots and formats it currently sells. They are excluded from the median, the range and the verdict: a different bottling year or a different bottle size is a different product, not the same wine at another price.

Prices are collected from public retail listings and may be outdated; the observation date is shown for each shop.
