Did you know that wine is super cheap in Greece?

Many people think that wine is for those with expensive taste. The reality is that you can find amazing wines at extremely low prices if you search in the right places. You can get ones that cost as low as four euros at your local supermarket and convenient store in Greece. If you’re traveling on a budget to Greece this year, I highly recommend that you opt for store-bought wine instead of ordering a bottle or glass at restaurants for example. There’s nothing better than getting a few snacks and wine from the grocery store and setting up a picnic on the beach.

It's also cheap at restaurants where you can order the house wine by the 1/2L or 1L.

When I buy Greek wine in the United States, it's always pricey. I'd imagine because of the costs of transport, taxes, etc? It makes sense that quality wines in Greece are considerably less expensive, especially when they're local. I love shopping at the markets to have food to eat while out and about - like a picnic on the beach is perfect! It's a lot of pressure to feel like you have to keep eating out several times a day.

The best time for us who used to work in blistering heat all summer day in day out without a day off nonstop 7 months was to make a picnic of fresh bread olives, different kinds of cheeses,cold Mezedes like fava, Taramasalata,Tzadsiki,Meliztzana,fasuolia and gallons of wine ......go somewhere peaceful in Mykonos....yes there are secluded beaches where no one goes!!!!.........Ella Tora....it is not even 8am here in Thailand and I am hungry already.....The winters months were very special, hiking in the hills for hours with backpacks full of Food and wine ...... Hmmmmm I miss Ellada very much sometimes.. but can't have everything..... our life is very beautiful here in Thailand too!.... Kalley Mera..
Ps:We used to buy wine from the wholesalers who supplied Tavernas and bars.....Cheap.... around €10 for 5ltr white@11% and €14 very good quality red@12%.....And rosé for €12 @11%..... drink forever!?

A beach picnic with some grocery store wine and snacks sounds like the ultimate vacation move. Sometimes, the simplest pleasures offer the most satisfaction. Speaking of affordable wine enjoyment, for those who are back home and missing those cheap but delightful Greek wines, why not consider making your own? I found some interesting home brew kit options that make it easy to get started. It could be a fun way to continue your Greek-inspired wine adventures long after your trip has ended.
