ABOUT US

Aegean Wine Selections is a highly specialized Greek Wine export agency founded in 2012 by Diploma Holder Gregory Kontos, DipWSET. It is a spin-off of the Greek Food export agency Aegean Food Exports, with a stunning export history since 1985.

FOR FINE WINE IMPORTERS

Over the past few years, a new appreciation has emerged for varieties that were previously unknown, such as the Italy’s Nero d’Avola, Austria’s Grüner Veltliner, Portugal’s Touriga Nacional… and among these, Greece’s own Assyrtiko and Xinomavro.

Our selection is addressed to fine wine importers that focus in wines with individuality and character. If you are a wine importer with a clientele that celebrates the small-batch, distinctive wines of Austria, New Zealand or Portugal, then you should seriously consider offering them the spectacular wines of Greece. Here is why!

HOW IT WORKS

We first listen to the nature of your import business, your specific needs and positioning. Then we get back to you with suggestions on wines, regions and producers. We can send you samples. For the wines you select you can place a small trial order. Please note that even your trial orders should be of a minimum acceptable value that usually fluctuate from € 1.000 to € 3.000 per producer (depending on the producer and country of destination).

NO FEES - ONLY GREAT SERVICE

We do not invoice you (you will be invoiced directly by the wineries) and do not touch the products as this would add up additional cost. All wines are shipped directly from the wineries' cellars, under our arrangements. There are no fees charged for our services. We take care of all sampling, price offers, communication with wineries, paperwork, shipment consolidation, bottle photos and other images assembly, technical sheets, promo material and whatever else you might need.

We make the buyers’ life easy!

ENDLESS CONNECTIONS

We have endless wine connections in Greece that you can benefit from, without having to do all the hard work of learning ‘Who is Who’ from zero. Remember, even if there is a Greek Wine you have always wanted to experience and can't find it here, let us know and we may be able to find it for you!

TEAM

Aegean Wine Selections consists of a dynamic team of professionals who are ready to support buyers with their experience, export know-how and positive outlook.

TESTIMONIALS

What people are saying about us:

 "A very solid selection, showcasing the best Greece has to offer. Aegean Wine Selections is a fascinating concept and I am sure that it will be a great tool in order to spread the word for the fantastic wines of Greece."
 
Konstantinos Lazarakis MW

Master of Wine based in Greece. Owner of WSPC, wine school and WSET Provider, Wine Buyer at AIOLOS, fine wine importing

 

"Aegean Wine Selections is our business partner in Greece and they are far more than a business partner. According to their advice, I believe we bring the best Greek wine to Taiwan. They know well what wine lovers are thinking and take action from customer’s point of view. They have deep links with Greek wine industry and also provide perfect export operation. We are glad to have a professional partner to back up our business."

Fine Wine Importer, Taiwan

“Aegean Wine Selections offers a top notch range of wines that allows the true wine lover to discover and enjoy the unique treasure of indigenous Greek varieties and terroirs.”

Simos Georgopoulos
Wine educator, journalist and critic, author of “A wineglass full of Greece”

"I knew very little of Greek wines and I had even less of an inclination to learn about their wines, let alone want to import them. But then we approached a tasting of Greek wines brought to Bombay by Gregory Kontos. As each wine was opened and tasted we were introduced a wonderful new world of wine that we could not imagine existed before. As each tongue-twisting varietal was revealed (Assyrtiko, Xinomavro, Moschofilero, Agiogitiko, Vidiano) from equally unfamiliar appellations, we were quickly attracted to these wines of great distinction."

 

Sanjay Menon
Fine Wine Importer, India

"Having travelled to almost every corner of Greece, Gregory Kontos can be proud of the fact that his company represents some of the greatest Greek producers and wines, which provides an overview of the range and huge dynamics of the contemporary Greek vineyards."
