Description
Wine was introduced into Greece around 4000 BC and it is said that it was known to the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. Ancient Greeks considered that wine was a gift from the gods. They worshiped Dionysus, a creature with the mind of man and the instincts of a beast, as god of wine. Dionysus, son of Zeus the father of the Gods, is said to have been born from the thigh of the almighty Zeus. Festivals honouring Dionysus were held during winter months and were celebrated by performing arts, elaborate dancing and wine drinking. Vineyards, grapes and wine drinking festivities were painted on hundreds of ancient Greek artefacts of clay, marble and metal signifying the relationship that the Ancient Greeks had with wine production and consumption.
Greece produces many fine white wines, with several from the volcanic soils of Santorini particularly well suited to the beginning connoisseur of Greek wines. The Agiorgitiko variety of grape is showing up in the exports and is worth sampling.
Rich, dry, and bold, the red wines of Greece perfectly accompany the many casseroles and northern meat-heavy dishes, but they are also perfect for drinking with a plate of appetizers while watching the sunset over the Aegean Sea.
