Greek Wine in Germany: beyond the Greek restaurant
By Yiannis Karakasis MW
Germany has long been the largest market for Greek wine, though we rarely get very excited about it. Recent figures from KEOSOE put Greece’s wine exports in 2025 at around €96 million, with Germany in first place at approximately 25 million, ahead of the United States and Canada.
But those figures tell partly the story as Greek wine’s presence in Germany still depends heavily on the Greek community, Greek grocery shops and Greek restaurants. This is certainly an important starting point. The next step is to reach more German distributors, independent wine shops, fine-dining restaurants, and, of course, professionals who choose Greek wines because they believe in them. That was the mindset of our recent Great Greek Wines events on Sylt and in Hamburg a few months ago. We wanted to give people a reason to consider Greek wine beyond their obvious affection for Greece.
