The new standard in Greek wine advisory

A personal strategy
for every bottle.

We help wine enthusiasts and collectors make confident decisions: which producers and vintages to explore, which bottles to acquire, what to open now, and what to keep for the future.

We have no wine to sell you. You purchase from retailers of your choice in your own country. Our role is to provide objective, individual guidance based on your taste, budget, collection and drinking goals.

Two ways to begin

Start. Or elevate.

Choose a wine → ask your advisor → receive a personal response → keep the full exchange in that bottle's history.

Advisor conversations · select to read
Rapsani 2016 · Is this becoming a collectible?
Alex Morgan · Collector

With Tsantali no longer operating, should I hold my Rapsani bottles because they are certain to increase in value?

Grigoris Prassas · Sommelier · Sample response

The producer's history may add collecting interest to particular bottles. But scarcity alone cannot guarantee value. I would first examine provenance, storage and the wine's condition, then build an opening plan around enjoyment rather than resale expectations.

Mouhtaro 2022 · How long should I keep it?
Alex Morgan · Collector

Can this 2022 Mouhtaro age for 25 years or more?

Nikitas Prassas · Oenologist & Sommelier · Sample response

Mouhtaro is an exciting variety to follow over time, but a 25-year-plus window needs evidence for the precise wine, producer and storage history. I would assess the bottle's structure and vintage first, then schedule periodic reviews instead of promising a fixed lifespan.

Retsina · What should we serve on 25 March?
Alex Morgan · Collector

I am preparing a Greek 25 March table. Can Retsina accompany the traditional dish?

Evangelia Tseliou-Prassa · Greek Heritage & Hospitality · Sample response

In many Greek homes, 25 March is associated with bakaliaros skordalia — salt cod with garlic sauce. A fresh, balanced Retsina can be an interesting pairing to explore. It is also a chance to explain the meaning of the holiday and the Greek table to your guests.

Your advisory journey

How working with Cinque works.

01

Tell us about your cellar

Complete your wine profile: country, budget, preferences, bottles already owned, storage conditions and the occasions you enjoy wine.

02

Meet your advisor

We assign a dedicated Cinque advisor and arrange a private online consultation. Owners of existing collections share their up-to-date inventory ahead of the meeting.

03

Receive your plan

Your written recommendations cover producers, vintages, quantities, purchase priorities and estimated drinking windows. You buy wines locally from retailers you choose.

Stay connected, if you choose.

Ongoing members receive scheduled cellar reviews and direct WhatsApp guidance within their plan's monthly limits. You remain responsible for updating your own collection and for its storage. The advisor works from the inventory you share.

Your collection, organised

A personal cellar view. Professional decisions.

The Cinque Private Cellar is our dedicated digital platform in development. It is designed to organise bottles by producer, region, grape, vintage and quantity while keeping advisor recommendations and bottle-specific conversations together. A sample collector experience is presented on this page.

The “Your Cellar, Under Review” panel above is an illustrative example of an advisory report, not an active client portal. Our own Cinque Private Cellar portal is in pilot development. Secure client registration will be enabled only after testing. Meet the demo collector below ↗

What your advisor evaluates

Drinking windows, cellar balance, gaps, potential purchases, suitable ageing periods and opening priorities. All guidance is bottle- and vintage-specific and takes storage history into account.

Your private report is prepared for you and reviewed by a real Cinque wine professional.

Independent by design

Your wine. Your choice. Our expertise.

Independent recommendations

We do not sell, deliver, store or import wine on your behalf. We advise you what may suit your goals; you purchase directly from vendors available in your country. No returns or investment performance are promised.

Responsible ageing advice

Drinking windows are professional estimates, not guarantees. Vintage, authenticity, provenance and storage conditions can change the outcome.

Privacy and confidentiality

Your wine inventory and preferences are handled as confidential client information with restricted access for your assigned advisory team. The full privacy notice, retention conditions and service agreement are provided before onboarding.

Clear communication

WhatsApp requests cover defined purchase or opening decisions, with up to two related clarifications per request. Companion aims to reply within two working days; Private Cellar Office within one working day. Complex research may require a separately approved fee.
