Ok so this wine is for helping you digest and is designed to go well with Greek food. If you are drinking it out of context you will not understand it. It's wonderful for its intended use but you have to approach it with an open mind. It is not your traditional wine at all.

Disclaimer: ONE glass... OK. After that, you're on your own.
Who knew they made "The Crystal of Retsinas" in industrial sized bottles! You can enjoy a beach side cocktail mixed with Sprite and a piece of ice and strip your floors with the rest. GOOD STUFF.
