The year 2017<\/strong> marked a true milestone in the journey of Cinque Wine & Deli<\/strong>.<\/p>

At the ESTIA Awards 2017<\/strong>, Cinque was honored with the Silver Award in the Caf\u00e9-Bar Total Experience category<\/strong>, recognizing a philosophy that had already begun to stand out within the Greek gastronomy and hospitality landscape.<\/p>

From that moment on, it became clear that Cinque was not simply another wine bar in Athens \u2014 but the foundation of a distinct, experience-driven wine bar concept<\/strong>, one that would go on to become the most consistently awarded wine bar brand in Greece<\/strong>, with recognitions at both national and international level.<\/p>

An Award Rooted in Greek Identity<\/strong><\/h2>

The distinction at the ESTIA Awards 2017<\/strong> came as a reward for the collective effort of the Cinque team to present Greek bottled wine not merely as a product, but as a cultural ambassador<\/strong> \u2014 an essential expression of Greek gastronomy, history, and hospitality.<\/p>

Located in the heart of Athens\u2019 historic center, in the picturesque neighborhood of Psyrri<\/strong>, Cinque created a meeting point for visitors from all over the world, where:<\/p>

- Twelve Greek wineries<\/strong> were introduced through wines served by the glass<\/em><\/p>

- Each label was accompanied by historical, geographical, and cultural storytelling<\/strong><\/p>

- Guests were guided through indigenous Greek grape varieties<\/strong> with clarity and depth<\/p>

From the very beginning, Cinque invested in knowledge, connection, and experience<\/strong> \u2014 not in simple consumption.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Total Experience: Beyond the Glass<\/strong><\/h2>

What truly set Cinque apart as early as 2017 was its holistic approach to hospitality<\/strong>.<\/p>

Wine was never presented alone. It was framed by:<\/p>

- PDO cheeses and cured meats<\/strong>, sourced exclusively from Greek producers<\/p>

- Thoughtful food & wine pairings<\/strong> that elevated both elements<\/p>

- A welcoming, shared-table atmosphere that made every guest feel at home<\/p>

Every visitor left having experienced a complete sensory journey<\/strong>, taking with them a genuine taste of Greece to carry back to their own country.<\/p>

The First Chapter of a Long Award-Winning Journey<\/strong><\/h2>

The Silver Award at the ESTIA Awards 2017<\/strong> was received by Nikitas Prassas<\/strong>, Oenologist and Wine Consultant of Cinque \u2014 one of the key figures behind the development of Cinque\u2019s wine philosophy and experiential identity.<\/p>

Looking back today, this distinction carries even greater meaning.
It was the first chapter in a long series of awards<\/strong> that have established Cinque as:<\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 The only wine bar brand with such long-term, continuous and multi-level recognition<\/strong><\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 A benchmark for Greek wine hospitality<\/strong><\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 A concept proven to be authentic, scalable, and sustainable over time<\/strong><\/p>

A Promise That Has Been Kept<\/strong><\/h2>

Already in 2017, Cinque\u2019s message was clear \u2014 and it remains unchanged today:<\/p>

To evolve without losing its soul.
To honor Greek wine.
And to create experiences that truly deserve to be awarded.<\/p>

And this is exactly how we continue.<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
