Many Georgians claim chacha has medicinal properties and is suggested as a remedy for a number of ailments, including ear blockages and indigestion. Also, it is claimed to cure stomach aches by applying it to the abdomen. It is also claimed to cure acne by applying to the face.[citation needed]
One of the most famous chacha products is the Binekhi Estragon, which became distinguished with the silver medal at the 2007 Mundus Vini awards.[2] Competing with over 5,000 other wines and spirits, Chateau Mukhrani's chacha won the gold medal at the 2011 Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Competition. At the 2012 Chisinau Wines and Spirits Contest in the Republic of Moldova, the Traditional Winery of Kakheti won five silver medals for its chacha.[1]

Chacha is a very strong distilled drink made from grapes that is popular in Georgia. Most chacha that I have encountered while abroad has had a concentration of at least 50%, with the highest alcohol concentration being 81%. Despite this absurdly high alcohol content, good chacha is shockingly smooth and can be enjoyable to drink. Properly made chacha is said to have no hangover associated with it, and, according to my host father Vazha, chacha simply makes you tired while comparable drinks like vodka make you belligerent.
A shot of chacha and a slice of lemon. This was the strongest chacha I ever encountered in Georgia at 81% alcohol. However, it was prepared with honey, rosehip, and anise so the flavor was quite enjoyable. This is also why it is brown, unlike most chachas which are clear.
Chacha is offered at practically every restaurant and Georgian families commonly distill their own chacha. My first time trying chacha was with my host family. My roommate Jesse and I had just finished dinner and our host father Vazha decided to bring out a bottle of their homemade chacha. He poured a round of shots, which are each 100 g here, and (visibly) psyched himself up for the drink. He then said a toast to our meeting and we all swallowed our shots. It was very strong but the quality was good enough that the cups of (kompot; a type of fruit juice common in Eastern Europe and Russia) were more helpful than necessary. After a similar second round, I expected us to be done, but Vazha explained that we must drink three rounds because of the Holy Trinity. Altogether, it was a very enjoyable first experience, made safer because Vazha was there to guide us through it.
There are several basic traditions and rituals practiced when drinking chacha. First, there must be a toastmaster. The toastmaster says a toast giving thanks for friendship, health, the opportunity to be together in the moment, or something else. It is very important for there to be a reason to drink. Next, everyone must sit up straight while drinking. Good posture is part of the process most Georgians seem to go through to mentally prepare themselves before they consume such a strong drink. Finally, as the Holy Trinity is three unique persons in one God, it is proper to drink three rounds of shots in one chacha session.
Chacha is often consumed with (zakuski), a Russian word for snacks and candies that are eaten while drinking. My host family usually put out plates of fruit from their (dacha; countryhouse), Georgian chocolates, hard candies, and pastries. Chacha is also usually accompanied by a chaser of some sort. This may be a slice of orange or lemon or a cup of (kompot). While generally necessary because of the strength of chacha, high quality (and therefore smoother) chachas and flavored chachas may not require a chaser. Responsibly drinking chacha is a very fun and unique experience that I will miss in the United States!
Unlike the mass produced and high-end bottle pictured above, which cost about US$15 equivalent at Bread House, the 40 to 60 degree, or proof, chacha found in homes throughout the country is incredibly inexpensive to produce. 2351a5e196
