Wine played an important role in Ancient Greek wine history, culture, and mythology.
The Mediterranean climate and soil types allow for excellent grape growing.
Greek wine regions are known for producing full-bodied red and crisp white wines.
Some key indigenous grapes used are Agiorgitiko, Assyrtiko, Moschofilero, and Xinomavro while international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are also popular.
Greek wines provide excellent value, with many high-quality offerings at affordable prices.

The Wine Instructor

Michael grew up drinking wine and quickly learned to appreciate its finesse and variety.
Living in Italy he had the opportunity to try different wines regularly, and would often visit canteens for tasting. After moving to Tokyo he found his knowledge and passion could be put to use professionally as well, therefore entered the wine industry where he has been working for more than 4 years.
