The sector of wine production in Greece consists of few large wine industries as well as a great number of small and medium sized ones and agricultural cooperatives.
The domestic wine production reached its peak during the period 2004-2005, while in the following years it followed a downward trend.
According to the latest available data from the European Commission for the 2021-2022 wine season, domestic wine production is up by around 8%.
Over time, white wine has been the main wine category, accounting for 66% - 70% of domestic production in recent years. Red and rose wine accounted for 30% - 34% of total production.
In the last five years (2015-2020) there is a 19.0% decrease in average production levels.
Domestic wines cover the domestic demand to a great degree, a fact which makes the degree of import penetration low (7% in 2020-2021), while it is estimated to reach 5.4% during 2021-2022.
Domestic wine consumption is mainly covered by domestic products. White wine has accounted for the largest part of overall consumption with a share of approximately 66%-70%, including retsina. Red and rosé wines accounted for 30%-34%. The share of retsina in the total market is estimated at approximately 10%.
