The cultivation of Greek wine was propelled by a number of factors, including the predominantly Mediterranean climate, and land that was very favorable to ancient grape varieties.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, the rise of the wine trade allowed, in the 1st century, the Roman colonies to expand and establish themselves in Gaul. In this region, the wine trade reached its peak around the middle of the 2nd century. Very quickly, the interest of people such as the Bituriges for the consumption and the trade of the wine increases. However, the importation of wine becoming expensive, the Gallic people created local varieties, despite the poverty of their soils. Over the years, other grape varieties were created in several regions, giving rise to new varieties.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, times have changed and so have tastes. With the evolution of science, thousands of hybrid grape varieties have emerged, with new properties. And when you look back, today&#8217;s wines have absolutely nothing to do with the ancient wines.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_best_Greek_wines\"><\/span>What are the best Greek wines?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dry or sweet white wine.
