1. Greece The Glory Of Cretan Wine 2008-11-10
   Greek sweet wines from Candia became the ultimate luxury in the 16th century. Among aristocrats and the affluent in Moscow, London, Constantinople (renamed Istanbul in 1453), Seville, Krakow, Hamburg, Marseilles, Naples and Venice, Cretan Malvasia was recommended for its soothing, as well as invigorating, properties. Travellers to Crete produced an abundance of detailed descriptions about how wine was made-by boiling the must, partly sun-drying the grapes or blending old and new wine.
