Subject: AW: GREEK WINES

Dear Thanos,

the image of Greek wines if influenced by some terrible
easy and cheap wines, which are usualy exported from greece to
most other countrys. Most known example is Retsina. 95% of
all people only know Retsina, Demestica and other examples
if you talk about greek wine.

Indeed Greek has some very good and engaged wine makers. Those
which started about 15 years ago to make their own wines.
Those which did not wanted to sell their grapes to one
of the "big four", which are Kourtakis, Achaia Claus,
Tsantalis, Boutari.

>From my point of view Greek has some very interesting
grape varieties, like Agiorgitiko (which does very good
in the region of Nemea) or Asyrtiko (best in Santorin).

But a lot of wine makers also work with international
grapes like Cabernet sauvignon, chardonay etc. I don't know
if i like that trend or not. On one hand those international
grapes are a door opener for indigenous grapes.
On other hand i don't think that international grape
varieties are the right way for greek wines.

OK, so far my short opinion. May be one day we will start
for a greek wine guide on Wein-Plus.com
For that reason we are looking for a representant
of Wein-Plus in Greek, who could keep the contact
between us and greek producers.

Best,
