Evgefsis | Wine with Honey Rhodes

The wine is derived from the blending of wine with honey. It is a drink that has its roots in ancient Greece, where it was drank at any time of day

There are several references to Greek mythology and history about the wine with honey. Demokritos lived until old age by including wine with honey and bread in his diet. The witch Cirkeus seduced Odysseus' sailors by offering them a wine with honey. The nymph Melissa nurtured Zeus with wine with honey and bread to strengthen it.

In the Nestor Palace in Pylos, in the Main Room of the palace, 35 wine jars were arranged in series. One of them is the word meritio [me-ri-ti-jo], that is wine with honey. Also note that in some of the 60 clay seals found in Warehouse of Wine there was a special incision point of the Linear Second Writing Wine Declaration.The Warehouse is described in Odyssey 3, 390-392.

The wine with honey we produce is based on the ancient Greek recipe with some modern touches. It is made of excellent quality wine and honey from Rhodes, producing aromas of wood, herbs and fruits.
