It produces the world's most famous resin wine Retsina, which is bottled in 0.25 and 0.5 litre bottles with crown caps.

The wine has an alcohol content of 11% vol. and is mainly produced in the growing region of Euboea in central Greece from the grape varieties Roditis and Savatiano. According to its own statement, the company's turnover in 2006 amounted to 28.170 million euros and represented a net profit of 6.085 million euros. In Greece the wine has a market share of 60%, in Northern Greece 92%.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
