Winegrowers that work with nature for generations supporting old vines and the particularities of ungrafted altitude vines, which represent the unique aspects of farming native grapes in the East Mediterranean.

international womens day

She gives us strength

Raising our Glasses Higher. 💜🍷💪


Prevailing and achieving in the wine sector is not akin to walking on a path of rose petals for anyone. #RaiseYourGlassHigher speaks with evidence to a lack of more safe spaces for women. Celebrating International Womens Day is a reminder of an accelerated change needed by all, when it comes to standing up to harmful behaviours and attitudes in society of harassment, sexism and gender bias.

We are reminded, that in this wonderful wine world that we do have visible pioneers, inspiring women that have made their own journeys.

She Gives us Strength

Today, as role models of their own, these do serve as an inspiration for the changes needed to accelerate the advancement of women.
We would like to honor Cyprus own, Yianoulla Ioannidou.

While she may have poured more joy in peoples glasses and peoples hearts of people, more than she will ever know… she stands among us as a reminder of perseverance, challenge of convention, a force of solidarity with grace and unwaivering focus. A great role model that has always inspired us.

Our thanks to Curious Vines – Queena Wong, Effi Tsournava DipWSET and Sophia Longhi as well as the The Buyer for surfacing the very pertinent issues that out sector must confront.

concerns ahead of pruning season

Tepid responsiveness by the State sparks blame game in full pruning season.

It’s a fact that doesn’t escape any winegrowing farmer: pruning season is the time where next harvest yields can be anticipated. Yet, concerns are building expectations of an expiration date on the farming of Cyprus Vineyards stemmed by governmental inaction on multiple fronts.

That winegrowers’ express challenges faced by Cyprus’s viticultural sector isn’t new, but it is the successive negative crop seasons, reinforced by the sensation of relegation as no longer being the backbone of the economy, that governmental instances can get away from not taking action to demands that escape policies in the lingering absence of a future path for the agricultural sub-sector, that is grape growing on the island.

Cyprus Viticulture
A Future Path

Although responsabilities for the sector’s plight may rightly point to today’s lack of State direction, it is not more heartening to read wine sector veterans prospecting the farming of Cyprus vineyards as fulfillment of emotional needs as passion projects, rather than the pursuit of viable economic outcomes and development.

The interview published recently, in full Tsiknopempti fervor, salesperson and winemaker jointly expressed with disarray the view of a general abandon, wishing to renew with failed past market models of mass produced grapes, reminiscing the glory days of alcohol distillation by volume, while awaiting with angst, the curbing of wine imports, and market intervention by the state, to ensure the prospect of market favourability for the more affordable local wines, ensuring, it would be κυπριακά above else….

That, above all, needs a RETHINK.

research

Prospective wine consumers can rest easy with crowdsourced ratings.

An inside look at Vivino reviews assesses validity of ratings and correlation with professional wine critics, in New reasearch published by the Journal of Wine Economics.

“Overall, our analysis suggests that crowsourced wine ratings are both valid and useful. If we are on the precipice of a paradigm shift whereby decentralized, crowdsourced reviews complement or even replace those of seasoned critics, then our analysis suggests that the future is in goog hands”

Whether its gauging wine for the inmediacy of pleasure or the wine’s potential for ageing, the research makes a reasonable case about how crowdsourced ratings do serve as a valid source of information generating valuable insights to consumers and producers.

The collaborative effort was led by researchers Kopsacheilis, O., Analytis, P.P, Kaushik, K., Herzog, S. M., Bahrami, B., and Deroy, O. Crowdsourcing the assessment of wine quality: Vivino ratings, professional critics and the weather, Journal of Wine Economics,2024.

A novel approach for validation that enhances knowledge comparisons between expert critics and crowdsourced amateur judgments, their agreement and relative influence. Access the publication via the link to the journal above.

Cyprus vineyards - essence of island charm

The value of Origin Cyprus

Undeterred, Cyprus Vineyards

As recognized as it is that driven entrepreneurs have a continued impact on rural society and local communities since the last 30 years, one realises that immersing oneself in the fascinating world of the vine, is more than wineries and wines.

It’s about appreciating the richness of the natural world around us, a legacy of biodiversity hand-selected by farmers over millennia. Whether you are a wine lover or simply curious, this Heritage Season is a perfect time to explore and understand what makes Cyprus vineyards a living heritage worth celebrating.

Cyprus Vineyards

With harvest arriving to a close, vindicating Cyprus Vineyards as magnificent landscapes is but a recognition of the passionate work of the women and men of the vine and their contribution to surfacing the origin of an Island’s charm.

Wines of real finesse and interest

An impacted Jancis Robinson, beyond fashion and hype.
JR’s views on the Ultimate CEE Wine Fair in London in June on the FT, well worth a read even as Cyprus is highlighted as invited destination representing the East Mediterranean – what a great opportunity to highlight the freat evolution of lesser known native varieties and milestone as a sector.



“Some very decent dry white from the island’s Xynisteri and Promara grapes. Cypriot red wines of distinction are starting to be made from the local Lefkada and Maratheftiko grapes.
The best Cypriot wine I tasted, however, was of a type that has been made on the island for centuries, the rich, dark, sweet, oak-aged Commandaria”

All in all wines of real finesse and interest, “factors include cool nights in vineyards up to 1,500m above the sea, ungrafted vines because the island is phylloxera-free, and a propitious limestone base in many vineyards” – the very wine quest for Cyprus Wines, priceless distinction.

Congrats to the organizers and participants. 🍷

Comer over in October

What wine are we having over in October?

Wouldn’t that be something?
How about having Wine in Moderation (WiM) Association come over in October?

Comer over in October


The coming together of Come Over in October

Utmost congratulations to Karen MacNeil, Kimberly Charles, Gino Colangelo, Guadalupe Escurra for teaming up and setting clarity of the motivations behind the Come Over in October initiative in allowing for the positive footprint of wine conviviality to surface further.

A history of bringing people together

Come over October is akin to drawing a the line from which the wine community should be advancing.
– Being combative against having wine being reduced to just an alcohol narrative
– Unwaivering to the further ignoring of moderate wine drinking, and finally
– The desire to celebrate wine’s 11,000 year history of bringing people together

Congrats & Welcome! Come Together For Wine where professionals can also connect.

Let’s Plan something this Coming October. Yes we’ll bring some wine!

More information:
COME TOGETHER—A Community for Wine! COME TOGETHER was created to tell the story of the positive role moderate wine consumption plays in society and community. Wine has been a culturally significant beverage for centuries. It’s been shared at some of the most momentous occasions in history, and continues to be a part of the most important moments in our lives.

Wine in Moderation – A single global message to reduce harm and inspire moderation when drinking wine. A social responsibility program launched in 2008 by the European wine sector to demonstrate social responsibility and managed by the WiM Association. Tailored by each culture and community where it is introduced.
