„Borjomi“ mineral water

Archaeological research shows that the water was used for its healing properties more than a thousand years ago, deep in the Lesser Caucasus mountain ridge. However, over the centuries, the springs were gradually forgotten. The first bottling plant in Borjomi was opened in 1896 and operated until the 1960s. The water has never lost its renowned reputation in the country as the most precious elixir that can cure many ailments, from hangovers to unhappy marriages 😊 The town of Borjomi has flourished by providing esoteric mineral water health treatments and techniques for diseases such as obesity, gastrointestinal disorders and diabetes. Bottled water became a major icon of Soviet culture. It is said that when cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin returned to Earth after his 1961 spacewalk, the first thing he asked for was a bottle of Borjomi water. In 1972, Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky featured bottles of Borjomi mineral water in his science fiction classic Solaris to highlight that the drink will exist far in the future. By 1980, annual production of Borjomi was 400 million bottles. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the city fell on hard times and most of the sanatoriums were closed. For many years it was a ruined destination for local tourists. In 2002, IDS Borjomi International, a company majority-owned by Kazakhstan, bought the Georgian Glass & Mineral Water Co. plant.
