Since the Rose Revolution of 2003 that ushered Western-oriented Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili into power, Russia and Georgia have had a tense and adversarial relationship. These tensions culminated in the Russia-Georgia War in August 2008, which led to a complete break of diplomatic and economic ties between the two countries. Economic relations had been strained since late 2005, when Moscow began banning imports of Georgian wine, mineral water and agricultural products in response to Georgia's warming ties with the West, particularly with NATO (though Russia officially cited health and safety reasons as the cause).

Some sectors, such as wine, were overwhelmingly dependent on Russia, which accounted for almost 90 percent of these sectors' exports.
