The guest can be a relative, a friend , a stranger ,so anybody who visits the family. The process
can be planned or not planned . If you suddenly visit Georgian family, you will not leave without treating.

The members of Georgian table

Georgian table is hierarchical, it has a leader, as we call “Tamada “ . Tamada is chosen by the head of the family.The leader of the table also might be the head of the family.
If there is a special party , Tamada should be a man. Tamada has to choose “Merikipe” a person who pours wine. He is a special member of the table. He is the most honorable man .He has right
to pour this divine liquid, which we call wine.
The table has the main members bride and bridegroom if it is wedding.If it is a birthday party in this case the main member is a hear of anniversary. If the table is laid for you , it means that you are a special guest. Tamada leads the Supra and helps people to spend good time.
