Pissouri hosts sixth Cyprus wine exhibition featuring nine wineries

Pissouri, Cyprus. The village hosted its sixth wine exhibition in mid-summer, bringing together nine wineries under the auspices of the commerce ministry.
Wine exhibitions allow consumers to taste wines side by side and identify varieties and styles that suit their preferences.
Wine tasting
Visitors did not need prior knowledge of the differences between varieties such as Maratheftiko and Giannoudi. Sampling different wines alongside one another can help distinguish their characteristics and support purchase decisions.
The exhibition encouraged participants to note or photograph wines they enjoyed and to identify those that did not suit their tastes.
