Greek wine is one of the most dynamic in the world and the country’s indigenous grape varieties are becoming increasingly attractive.

The positive response is reflected in the awards that Greek wines gain at international wine contests and tastings. International media seem to have discovered the charm of Greek wine and feature Greek varieties and wines on a regular basis.
