Here in New York, wineries in a couple of the regions in the state are doing the same thing to promote their products. They call it "sister wineries" or something like that. Good idea Markus.

You are right, German wines are underrepresented in Greece. I'll be looking forward to hearing more about this and to participate in any tastings! This is a great initiative Markus!

The Bild articles have actually led to an outcry by many other journalists. The creation of a network between Greek and German wineries will be beneficial for the promotion of the respective wines. German wines are very underrepresented in Greece, and it can only be seen as a great opportunity for Greek wineries if there German partners include these wines in their presentations. I am very excited by this project! I could not agree more with your statement that the tabloids are not a representative of a nation’s view.

I believe the idea of starting such a wine network has merit and it is important to show unity in troubled times. Viviane, thank you so much for your kind words.

Hopefully it will go some way to calming emotions on both sides as both countries have had (up till now) a very good relationship after the Second World War, with millions of German tourists coming to Greece as well as the large Greek communities that came to Germany as Gastarbeiter and now contribute so much to German life. It is a shame that tabloids often guide opinion or are falsely seen as representative of a nation's views. I am ashamed that Greeks believe whatever Bild says is what the majority of Germans feel, that is like saying that whatever Espresso or other Greek tabloids say are representative of what most Greeks feel. Good luck! That is a fantastic idea!
