Georgia

Georgia, often called the birthplace of wine, boasts an unbroken winemaking tradition spanning 8,000 years, supported by archaeological evidence of Neolithic clay vessels with grape residue dating back to 6000 BCE. Situated at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, its favorable climate and terrain have nurtured grape cultivation since prehistoric times, influencing viticulture across the Fertile Crescent and beyond. Many modern grape varieties trace their origins to Georgia, and even the word “wine” likely derives from the Georgian ghvino. Throughout centuries of invasions, Georgians safeguarded their vines and traditions, making wine both a symbol of resilience and a pillar of their culture. Today, Georgia is reemerging as an artisanal wine hub, blending ancient methods with modern craftsmanship to produce some of the world’s most distinctive and historically rich wines.

Slovenia Primorska

The wine tradition in the Goriska Brda is deeply rooted in Italy, as the wine area was divided by a national boundary during the twentieth century. This region's wines and cuisine are remarkably similar to those found in Italy. The region's name was taken from the names of the two wine towns. Goriska Brda is technically just Brda because wine is no longer manufactured in Goriska Brda.

Greece

Greece is a wine-producing country with a heritage stretching back to the Mycenaean era in the 16th century BC, when wine already held a central place in Greek culture and religion.

The country’s three main wine regions each have distinct characteristics: Podravska, in the northeast bordering Croatia and Hungary, is the largest, known for sparkling and world-class dessert wines from almost entirely white grapes, grown in a continental climate with fertile, loamy soils; Posavska, the smallest, is the birthplace of Cviček, a light, fresh, slightly sour red blend from hilly terrain and mixed sandy-clay soils, reflecting a cooler continental climate; Primorska, in the west along the Italian border, benefits from a warm Mediterranean climate, marl and limestone soils, and strong Italian influence, producing expressive reds and structured whites. Slovenia’s terroir ranges from alpine foothills to coastal slopes, fostering diverse grape varieties such as Rebula, Malvazija, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Modra Frankinja, and Refošk, yielding styles from crisp aromatic whites to full-bodied reds and renowned botrytised sweets, all increasingly focused on quality, manual harvesting, and distinct regional identity.

South Africa

The countryside defined by the Mátra and Bükk Mountains conceals a number of interesting natural treasures, but the area’s built landscape also boasts similar wealth. The main cities of the region, Gyöngyös, Eger and Miskolc, have not only become known for their cultural values, but their gastronomy is also slowly becoming a buzzword.

Hungary

Upper Pannonia

Nowadays, wine and wine districts do not necessarily come to mind with regard to this region, although there have been plenty of connections over the centuries. The trade routes to the west and the course of the Danube bestowed great importance on this part of the country, so it’s no coincidence that it should always have been ahead of Hungary’s other regions in terms of development.

Who wouldn’t enjoy sipping a glass of Portugieser or RedY in the evening? And if you have enough time to appreciate them, how about an elegant Cabernet or Merlot at the weekend or on a holiday? However, make sure you bear in mind that great Villány wines need time, both in the cellar and in the glass.
