Although Greece can’t exactly claim to have invented wine, the country was certainly one of the first to develop wine production methods and share them with the wider world. Evidence of wine production has been found from around the 15th century BC – and yet, despite this, Greece has only recently developed a reputation within the modern wine industry.
Many small-scale family businesses still exist, supplying easy-drinking wine to local markets, but in recent decades more focused winemakers have also appeared, honing traditional techniques to bring Greece’s native grapes to a wider audience. These are the wines that go into the Vineking range of Greek wines, all chosen for their great value and intriguing flavours.
