The Next New Region… Greece!
Wine has been an important part of Greek culture for over 4000 years.  However many people associate Greek wines with the high volume, low quality wines of old.  In recent years, the Greek wine industry has undergone tremendous improvements with serious investments in modern wine making technology and a revitalized commitment to quality. The new generation of native winemakers have been trained in the best wine schools around the world and their efforts are paying off.  Greek wines are receiving numerous international awards, high marks from the trade press and are now being discovered by forward thinking wine buyers across the country.
