GW – The Greek Wine Routes introduces Stories & Grapes, a narrative podcast series dedicated to Greece’s indigenous grape varieties and the regions that shape them.

The journey begins with Agiorgitiko, one of Greece’s most celebrated red grapes and the signature variety of the Nemea wine region.

Narrated by Achilleas, this first episode explores the character of Agiorgitiko wine — its velvety texture, ripe red fruit, balanced structure, and the cultural depth rooted in the hills of Nemea.

More than a tasting guide, Stories & Grapes connects wine, landscape, and storytelling — gradually building a digital collection that will include Assyrtiko, Savvatianó, Xinomavro, Moschofilero, and other iconic Greek varieties.

🎧 Experience the story of Agiorgitiko — watch or listen to the first episode of Stories & Grapes.

🍇 Discover Greek Grape Varieties

📚 Wine Word Origins

🌿 Symposion → From ‘σύν’ (together) + ‘πίνειν’ (to drink)
Not just a drinking party, but a ritualized gathering — the birthplace of philosophical dialogue over shared cups.

🏺 Oinos → From Mycenaean Linear B
The ancient word for wine.

🍾 Retsina → From ‘ῥητίνη’ (retini)
Named after the pine resin once used to seal amphorae and later became part of the flavor — an ancient tradition still alive today.

🍷 Krater → From the Greek ‘κρατήρ’
A large vessel used to mix wine with water during symposia — the heart of ancient wine culture.

🍇 Ampelos → From ‘ἄμπελος’
The Greek word for vine — source of the term ampelography, the study of grape varieties.

📖 “Did You Know?” Greek Wine Facts

Xinomavro is often called the “Barolo of Greece” — bold, complex, and built to age.

Vidiano is Crete’s rising white star — once nearly extinct, now hailed as Greece’s next great white grape.

Agiorgitiko is known as the “Blood of Hercules” in myth.

Assyrtiko is one of the few white grapes that can age gracefully for decades.

In Greek, “moscho” means fragrant, and it lives up to Moschofilero's name.

Malagousia was nearly lost — until a winemaker’s instinct brought this aromatic gem back to life.

Savvatiano is Greece’s most planted grape — and it thrives in the heat where other grapes fade.
