some more about them, what they do, the difficulties they’re faced with,
but also the joys they’re given during the process of making this
incredible product: the wine.Though Crete has a long history in vineyard
cultivation and in wine producing, today’s wine producers are faced with
very different facts comparing to their ancestors. The climatological

other countries as well, the smaller prices of the New World’s wines,
the increasing demands of tourists coming to the island, the rural
exodus, are only some of the problems wine producers have to solve.

improvement of varieties, today’s know-how and new scientific data,
technological progress and many other factors, help the Cretan wine
producers through their beautiful and resourceful annual journey.
