Greece is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world, with winemaking traditions dating back over 6,500 years. Ancient Greeks played a pivotal role in spreading viticulture throughout the Mediterranean. Modern Greek wine has undergone a renaissance since the 1980s, featuring indigenous varieties such as Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko, and Xinomavro from regions including Santorini, Nemea, and Naoussa.
