Where to find specialty drinks and hard-to-locate items in Tbilisi (imported wine, pomegranate wine, high-purity isopropyl alcohol)?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
For pomegranate or French wine, check specialty wine boutiques and natural wine bars (e.g. in Vake district, places like Vino Underground) rather than regular supermarkets. For 75% isopropyl alcohol specifically, try chemical/lab supply shops or medical equipment pharmacies instead of DAC (which sells 99%) or standard pharmacies (which usually stock 90%+ ethanol).
What the community said
For pomegranate wine, check specialty wine shops in the Vake district or natural wine bars like Vino Underground — they often carry rare fruit wines from small local producers, not just grape wine.

Regular pharmacies usually stock 90%+ ethanol, not 75% isopropyl, and DAC sells 99% isopropyl. Try chemical/lab supply stores or larger pharmacies with a medical equipment section, which sometimes carry diluted disinfectant solutions.

French (and other imported European) wine is easiest to find in large supermarket chains like Carrefour or Goodwill, which have dedicated imported alcohol sections, or in specialty wine shops in the Vake and Saburtalo districts.
