A presentation of Greek wines was held in Montreal, Canada, on Tuesday, attended by sommeliers, journalists and wine tasters, organised by major Greek wine producers. The event, organised by the "Greek Wines" organization and the Hellenic Foreign Trade Board, HEPO, was aimed at presenting the new wine production to the Canadian consumers and dispelling the myth of cheap Greek "retsina" wine. On Thursday there was also a presentation in Toronto at the Park Hyatt.
The traveling wine presentation will also take place in California and New York in the United States with the intent of becoming an annual event for the promotion of quality Greek wine.
DF: Greek wines are hot now. Can Greece take advantage of the moment?

Foveras... ...Greek wines have come a long way but why bother with a presentation in Quebec where the market is monopolized by the government which pushes wines from France at cheap prices. Next time, skip Montreal and make an extended visit to Toronto.
