The potential and the opportunity for Greek and Bulgarian wine producers and cultivators to offer the global market wines with a unique taste and aroma, made from traditional and now threatened varietes of grapes, is the focus of the VineSOS project operating in the Greek-Bulgarian border region, according to ANA.
There are 27 such wine varieties recorded, 11 of them Greek, which are found in the border region of the two countries and are extremely well adapted to their local micro-environments, especially those within the margins of Natura 2000. Despite the fact that these varieties are not systematically cultivated and, as was pointed out at a press conference, are facing the threat of decline and extinction, they have exhibited great hardiness and resilience.
