Greek wine resources
I attended the Berlin Wine School masterclass on retsina and wines from Northern Greece - what an eye-opener!🌟 I realized how little I know, as the WSET L3 textbook only covers Greece in a short chapter.
Looking for some comprehensive resources, I’ve found the🏺Wines of Greece portal by the Greek National Interprofessional Organization of Vine and Wine (EDOAO). It has a lot of interactive content such as maps, profiles of regions, appellations, and varieties and even podcasts (in English). I thought others might enjoy it too!
There’s also the WSET Bitesize on Greek main wine regions. It is a bit older yet provides a good overview.
Please share any additional resources about Greek wines that you find useful.
There have been several publications over the last decade and at least a couple last year! Below a list from some well established authorities on the subject. In chronological order: Stevenson, Tom, and Essi Avellan. Christie's World Encyclopedia of Champagne & Sparkling Wine. Absolute Press, 2014.
Liem, Peter. Champagne: The Essential Guide to the Wines, Producers, and Terroirs of the Iconic Region. Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press, 2017.
Stelzer, Tyson. The Champagne Guide Edition VII. Hardie Grant Books, 2024.
Rose, Anthony. Fizz!: Champagne and Sparkling Wines of the World. Academie du Vin Library, 2024.
[You've probably sat the exam by now, but the books still offer solid references for any sparkling wine enthusiast and professional.]
Has anyone found further books on the subject (or had experience with any of the above)?
