Somehow, it bypassed our radar and it's only through the Gentilini Winery and Vineyards fan page that we found out about it. It looks like a great opporunity for Greek wines and wineries and we will certainly join. Your expert advice will be most highly appreciated, before we do. Dear Markus

We have been using AVINs combined with QR Codes on our back label of our wines produced here in the Alentejo, Portugal, and agree that it has the potential to be a very useful tool. The only problem at the moment is getting people to learn about it and understand it, so the quicker the more wineries adopt it the better! And it is free! No excuses in these difficult times not to move on with technology! Welcome to the AVIN club!

Secondly, thanks for convincing the first two Greek wineries to start using the AVIN and Adegga. It's great to see the project moving forward and helping more and more wineries connect with consumers using the Web. Thank you! André Markus,

That is great news and hopefully the beginning of a revolution for the Greek wine consumer. The AVIN system will deal with two problems prevalent in today's Greek wine, firstly the chaotic state of Greek wine labels (on one extreme no information whatsoever to the other extreme with a detailed run down of what was done in the vineyard and then the cellar - not to mention a lack of a translation on som ewines altogether) and secondly the variation in spellings (remember road signs?) of either wineries (Chatzimichalis, Hadjimihalis, Hatzimihalis etc etc) or grape varieties (Asyrtiko or Assyrtico, Xynomavro or Xinomavro etc etc).
