Wine bars have a prominent place in the heart of wine lovers. In the shadow of the Acropolis, wine tasting acquires spiritual stimulation.
Bar, pub, bistro, bodega. Whatever name is given to a wine bar, the image and especially the sense of taste of favorite Greek or foreign varieties to tickle the palate, such as a seductive Xinomavro or a fascinating Sauvignon Blanc, compose a scene of a unique ritual.
The first reference to wine bars was made according to Wikipedia in a historical document of 1438.
A wine bar has a minimum of 25 wines available by the glass in order from dry to sweet and from Champagne to Porto.
With a relaxed and warm atmosphere in a familiar environment, wine bars offer a special and modern setting for socializing, a hangout that touches all wallets, combining cheerful wine and gourmet appetizer options.
