The Russian government's action of banning the wines imported from Georgia is an example of an embargo. An embargo is a complete ban on trade (imports and exports) with a particular country or a certain type of product, often used as a political tool to exert pressure on the target country or to protect the domestic industry. In this case, Russia used the pretext of health and safety concerns to impose the embargo on Georgian wines, which could be seen as a form of non-tariff barrier or protectionism.
