Characteristics of Greek wine
Wine has a long history

Greek Wine Classification
The characteristics of the wine depend on the region where the grape variety is grown and the methods of winemaking and aging. In order to make consumers aware of these characteristics the legislator created a series of concepts distinguishing types and types of wine.
According to EU law, wine is divided into two categories: legal production area wine and daily table wine ( ).
Legal production area
Legal production area wine is named after a region and is used as the name for commodity trading. According to international law, this particular product must be produced in the region represented by its name and must be characterized by natural factors (such as ecosystems) and technical factors (such as production technology) unique to this region.
Therefore, a bottle of wine on the market labeled with a legal production area should
◇ Come from a specific grape growing area. The name of the area is listed on the wine label. The planting of the grape varieties for winemaking is limited to a certain range.
◇ Made using one or several selected grape varieties and cannot be changed once selected. These varieties are perfectly adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the region.
◇ The grape yield in the vineyard is low but of high quality.
◇ Its production process is based on the traditional winemaking technology of the region and meets the needs of modern technology.
◇ Ripened and aged under specific conditions.
◇ Has special taste characteristics and personality depending on the ecosystem.
These characteristics are typical of the conditions of the region where the wine is produced and they display idiosyncratic character and personality.
Greece’s AOCs are high-quality grape growing areas also known under EU law. The term comes from the abbreviation of the first letter of the French word.
Greece’s legal production area wines are divided into fine legal production area wines and controlled legal production area wines
There are legal production area wines in Greece, one of which is an excellent legal production area wine and a controlled legal production area. liquor.
Table wine
Table wine is divided into broad categories: designated production area wine, traditional listed wine and brand wine
Designated production area wine is the transitional bridge between table wine and legal production area wine. The focus of this type of wine includes indicating the geographical location of the production area, the grape varieties brewed under certain production conditions, the winemaking method, their minimum alcohol content and taste characteristics.
Traditional listed wine is wine made according to traditional methods in a specific region or country. The names of these wines are exclusive to or traditionally applied to the characteristics of products from a specific country or a specific region of a country. The traditional listed wine of Greece is Recina. Today's Recina refers specifically to dry Greek wines made using traditional methods with the addition of pine resin to grape juice.
Other common bottled wines on the market are branded wines, which means that these wines are distributed under their respective commercial names.

Gardens and brewed in a specific region.
And grades
Currently, Greece also has a wine grading system imitated from France. There are a total of grades equivalent to the French grade and a total of grades of more average quality, which are equivalent to the French grade.
This grading system mainly focuses on the application of traditional varieties, the historical production technology of the production area (or winery) (which tends to the French technical system), and the altitude and orientation of the vineyard. .
( ) The standard is equivalent to the high-quality wine standard produced in a specific region set by the European Union. The production areas that meet this requirement are distributed in various administrative regions.
) standard is equivalent to the European Union's standards for high-quality sweet wines produced in specific regions. Sweet wines have different production areas and belong to different administrative regions. For example, the world-famous wine made with small white rose aroma is a typical representative.
Wines of the above two levels can be labeled but must meet such conditions

Greek Wine Region
Greek wine is mainly distributed in the Naoussa region. Naousa is located in the north of Greece. The cooler climate of this area mainly produces some of Greece's best wines. The locals call it black juice wine to describe the color and concentration of this wine. There are nearly acres of vineyards in the area to provide grapes for this wine.
The Thessaly region is the main fertile plain in Greece. Its climate is very suitable for growing grapes. Under the influence of Mount Olympus in the west and the Aegean Sea in the east, the climate changes greatly. Many brand wines are produced in La The three regions of Posanian Angelios and Mesenichola are mainly rich in white and light red Rodizi wines.
Naousa
Located in Northern Greece ( ), the climate is very cool and many vineyards are planted in the highlands to mainly produce red wine. Made mainly from local varieties, wines with strong tannins, high acidity, and complex flavors are reminiscent of Italian Barolo. It can also be blended with internationally renowned varieties to make local ones.
Nemea
The wine production here in the Pennese Peninsula accounts for about one-third of Greece's wine production. The vineyards are not troubled by phylloxera. Nemea's red wine is produced from grapes located in vineyards with an altitude above 10 meters. It has a Mediterranean climate with warm winters and short summers. Good vineyards are located on slopes with higher altitudes and on the northern slopes. Only these places have a relatively cool climate suitable for grape growth. Precipitation is concentrated in spring and autumn, and there is little dryness in winter and summer. Even in vineyards at higher altitudes the wine has been made very smooth, low in acidity but full of fruit.
Santorini
The most famous here is the dry white wine made from Astico grapes. This variety can maintain high acidity when fully ripe, making a wine that is a bit like Viol. The local volcanic soil in Nigeria gives the wine a mineral flavor. Many vineyards are very old and the grapes are cultivated into a rope-like shape to withstand strong winds. Grape yields are very low but wine prices are not particularly high. And due to the impact of local tourism, the grape planting area has begun to decrease. ]
Therefore, the increasingly precious Greek wine has become a high-end enjoyment, treasure and mellowness, and has become the endorsement of Greek wine.
