Wines
of Greece
Dionysius, sometimes known
by his Roman name Bacchus, was the ancient Greek mythological god of wine,
worshipped as protector of the vineyards. Wine
festivals were celebrated with special customs and rituals at each phase of the
vines growth. The mythical king of
Athens, Amphictyon, supposedly was the first to mix water with wine, thereby
setting the precedent for Greeks respect towards the power of alcohol.
The phrase “watered wine” dates from this time.
Today
in Greece, as in ancient times, wine is considered an enhancement to the zest of
living, and inebriation is not acceptable behavior.
Plato expressed the Greek attitude best when he said “Wine causes most
drinkers who have no sense to think that they have.”
Greece
produces many excellent wines, the most notable being retsina, mavrodaphne and
muscatel. Retsina, with a taste
often compared to turpentine, is the most well known.
It owes its taste to the resin used to give it a subtle aroma and flavor.
It is a light wine, better when served chilled, and comes in golden, red
or rose hues.
A
drink equally well known both in and outside of Greece in ouzo.
A real thirst quencher, it’s a clear, potent spirit distilled from
grape mash and lightly flavored with anise.
Grape
vines flourish in the rolling hills of Greece, and the people believe their
grapes, as well as their wines, are among the best in the world.
