The Buyer | Yiannis Karakasis MW on the evolution and revoution in Greek wines

The pace of change across the Greek wine industry has been so fast and widespread that is unrecognisable to where it was 15 years ago. That’s the view of Greek wine consultant, writer and educator, Yiannis Karakasis MW, who has been at the heart of so many of those changes and been able to document them in his authoritative guide - Greek Wine Explained . As he publishes the title’s third volume he gives his personal assessment of where Greek wine now is and whilst he says it is exciting to see how the country has moved from “discovery to consolidation” it also throws up new challenges as well as opportunities for producers and their distributors to tackle.
