Speaking about Tsantaliwine: I read the following: Consideraly fewer grapoes were harvested this year in Northern Greece. This was announced by the Evangelos Tsantalis AG company, the largest wine producer in Greece. The vineyards of Mount Athos were particularly hard hit, only around half the grapes could be utilised for wine production. The weather conditions in northern Greece were problematic throughout 2007.
