Kaketi, a wine not unlike Carlowitz, is grown in considerable quantities in the Caucasus.

There are two kinds, red and white, but the former is considered the best.

Though sound and good, it is cheap enough--one rouble the quart.

Tobacco is also grown in small quantities in parts of Georgia and made into cigarettes, which are sold in Tiflis at three kopeks per hundred.

But it is poor, rank stuff, and only smoked by the peasantry and droshki-drivers.
