What do you know about Greek wine? It seems to be an area that even the most committed of wine lovers often overlook. Is it because the Greek roads are ones less travelled or because we simply have trouble pronouncing the names of the grape varieties (have a go at Agiorgitiko) and therefore will choose something that appears more familiar?

Although Greece is one of the oldest wine regions in the world, with wine production dating back to the Ancient Greek times, today it doesn’t rank in the top ten wine producing countries globally and, in the UK, we’re more likely to go for wines from Italy, France, New Zealand, Australia and Spain before we think about Greece.
