Red wine from Greece from the most popular grape varieties

The wine country Greece is known for its millennia-old wine tradition. Greek red wine was already drunk in ancient times. When talking about wine growing, the name Crete is mentioned. The largest island of Greece is one of the oldest wine regions and probably therefore bears the nickname "cradle of Greek wine".

One of the most important red grape varieties is called Romeiko. It is not only on Crete very productive. The popular red grape variety also thrives in other wine-growing regions of Greece. A very elegant red wine variety bears the Asian-like name Agiorgitiko. It is the basis for a famous Greek red wine with a velvety taste, whose dark red colour shines mysteriously in the red wine glass. By the way, this red wine grape variety is also called "Saint George", Mavro Nemea or St. George's vine.

Other well-known Greek red wine varieties are:

• Mavro Naoussis
• Mavroudi Arachovis
• Liatiko

Red wine from Greece: Quality levels

Pure Greek red wine or a cuvée? Red quality wine from Greece it must be! And you can buy it online at Vinello. Although the Greeks look back on a long wine tradition, the very first wine law dates back to "modern times". To be precise, it dates back to 1934, and I wonder if the famous "wine of Samos" played a part in this

In the 70ies, a new wine law was passed in Greece, which now regulates the wine qualities. In the meantime there are four different quality levels, which are generally valid for Greek wine:

• P.A.P.
• P.E.
• Topikos Inos
• Epitrapezios Inos

In addition, the quality wine regions of Greece are subject to further criteria. Also within the so-called "appellations" certain regulations apply to winegrowers who produce quality red wine and white wine .
