A Qanci (Georgian: ყანწი, also transliterated as qantsi, Qanci or kantsi) is the traditional drinking horn in Georgian drinking culture, typically made from ram or goat horns, sometimes also from bull horns.[1]

During a formal dinner (supra) Georgians propose a toast, led by a toastmaster (tamada) who sets the topic of each round of toasting. Georgians will toast parents first, as they value them above all else. Toasts are made with either wine or brandy, toasting with beer is considered an insult.[1]
