🍇 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.

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

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

🍾 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.

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

📖 “Did You Know?” Greek Wine Facts

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

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

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

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.

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

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