Retsina: a classic reborn

If your concept of Retsina is of an old-fashioned, oxidised, flabby house wine reeking of motor oil, you’re not alone. Plenty of holidaymakers have endured painful hangovers after imbibing too much of the grubby taverna stuff back in the 1980s and 90s. Fortunately, horrible industrial Retsina is largely a thing of the past: modern versions are at least clean and crisp.
