How Cinque Stayed Standing Through Take-Out

Easter is the most meaningful celebration in Greece.
A table filled with family, tradition, and wine.

But that year was different.

It was the period of lockdown. Restaurants were closed. Streets were quiet. Uncertainty was everywhere.

And yet, Cinque Wine & Deli stood strong.

Easter in the Middle of Quarantine

During the lockdown period, when hospitality businesses across Greece were facing unprecedented challenges, Cinque chose not to pause — but to adapt.

Through take-out services and carefully curated wine baskets, we continued bringing Greek bottled wine and festive flavors to people’s homes.

Because even in quarantine, Easter still deserved to be celebrated.

A Special Giveaway with Protothema.gr

In collaboration with Protothema.gr and the radio show “Pnixte to Fountaristo,” Cinque offered two Easter wine gift baskets to listeners.

These baskets were not just promotional gifts.

They symbolized:

Resilience
Connection
Support for the festive Greek table
Support for the idea that hospitality does not stop at the door of a wine bar

Each basket included premium Greek bottled wines and selected delicacies designed to accompany traditional Easter dishes.

At a time when dining out was impossible, Cinque brought the experience home.

Standing on Our Feet Through Take-Out

Lockdown forced the entire hospitality sector to rethink operations.

Cinque responded quickly by strengthening:

Take-out wine services
Curated festive baskets
Personalized recommendations
Direct communication with guests

The Easter giveaway was part of that effort.

It was a reminder that even during isolation, wine still connects people.

Greek Bottled Wine at the Center

From the beginning, Cinque has focused exclusively on branded Greek bottled wine. Supporting small producers and showcasing native varieties has always been our mission.

During the pandemic, that mission became even more important.

Supporting Greek wine meant supporting Greek producers.
Supporting local meant strengthening the ecosystem.

More Than a Giveaway

This Easter action was not just marketing.

It was a statement.

Cinque does not disappear in difficult times.
Cinque adapts.
Cinque continues.

And even in quarantine, the Easter table remained full — with Greek wine at its heart.
