Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Rtveli' (grape harvest) is the most significant 'new fruit' event. It's a time of communal labor, singing, and feasting. In the capital, 'akhali khili' is often used to describe the latest European or American trends that hit the city. A new guest at a table is often called 'akhali khili' to make them feel special and noticed by the Tamada (toastmaster). There is a belief that you should make a wish when you eat the 'new fruit' of the season for the first time.
