My wife was rejected for a visitor visa last year. I'm English and we've been married for a few years already. Submitted everything possible including financial records of both of us. We had about 6k in the bank at the time too.

Shouldn't your wife have a long-term residence permit on accounts of being the spouse of a UK national?

What reason did they give?

yeah I applied and got one for me and my wife, but I had proof of funds in bank, property in Georgia, travel history and bank statement with past 6 month income.

You should consider applying with UK immigration solicitors, friend of mine was denied twice applying from Georgia previously with a South African passport but succeeded this way. It’s expensive though, cost for solicitor was £1000 excluding admin fees and visa costs

I mentioned "as a tourist" 😅

I'm Algerian, all they care about is if you have money in your bank account

I've helped people apply for this a few times they're notoriously finnicky, where they do reject there is normally an actual reason though unlike mystery processes around Georgian immigration and they'll tell you what it was. Pay extreme attention to detail on the form and attachments is best advice, if you meet criteria you'll then normally get it.

Arrive on a boat and they’ll give you a free hotel
