This site is devoted to informing
wine lovers, the wine trade and the wine media about the current revolution in the
Greek wine industry (as
well as the preservation of unique traditions that have evolved over thousands of
years of continuous winemaking).
Sadly, during the 1960s, retsina
came to dominate all associations with Greek wine. But retsina was only part of the
story.
In ancient times, Greece played a crucial role in the development of the wine culture
of Europe. Nearly two thousand years of foreign occupation took a toll on her fortunes,
yet many of Greece's rich viticultural resources remain intact. During the last forty
years the Greek wine industry has struggled to regain its name. Now, armed with an
ocean of indigenous cultivars, a superior climate for grape growing, and an abundance
of brainpower and technological resources, Greek wine now presents exciting new--and
ancient--possibilities for wine lovers around the world.
In the past two decades, Greece has undergone a revolution in which quality, individuality
and history are the hallmarks of a new generation of Greek wine producers determined
to make their mark abroad.
Choose any topic and learn the fascinating story of Greek wine, past and present.

newsletter alerts you to new winemaker profiles, important news, articles and other
