- Greek Wines with Konstantinos Lazarakis MW Part 1
Overview
Konstantinos tells us about the different grape varieties and regions of Greece, where 95% of the wine is consumed domestically and so can be hard to find in the UK. Many new grapes are being rediscovered every year but there are 200 indigenous grape varieties so far identified but in the market there are closer to 50 varietals available. There are also the international varieties being planted. We hear about the appellation system in Greece with the top tier being the PDO (POP) and second tier is PGI (more akin to Vin de Pays quality). Finally we talk about the traditional Greek wine, Retsina.
