Retsina prices in Greece.

[Hedders]

This may be a long shot, but i doubt it on PistonHeads!

My dad is a serious Retsina drinker on his regular trips to Greece. He has just been told that the prices have shot up since his last visit due to the greek government removing subsidies they had on it because it was the national drink.

He suspects he is being wound up, does anyone know?

Cheers guys

doubt it as many brew there own and give it away as freebies, just like raki

Don't drink it.

It's f!!cking rancid.

I thought it was due to global warming and the Greek govt. limiting the amount of trees that could be used for the manufacture of Retsina.

I am guessing nobody knows then

not everyones cup of tea but people will drink it because it's cheap, don't mean it's any good

My dad actually likes his wine and usually drinks half decent stuff. I am suprised to hear this stuff is such crap!

It's not crap, it's like marmite, love it or hate it. I quite like it after the first glass or two.
