The Wine Dilemma Premium – Greek & International Wine Tasting in Athens | Cinque Wine & Deli

When the Conversation Goes Deeper

Some wines reveal themselves at the first sip. Others ask for a little more time.

They may come from an exceptional vineyard, an uncommon grape, a demanding landscape or a producer whose choices have given the wine an unmistakable identity. Their value is not only in the label, but in everything that had to happen before the bottle reached the table.

The Wine Dilemma Premium was created for these wines.

It follows the same idea as the Classic Selection—Greece in conversation with the wider wine world—but takes the comparison one step deeper through more distinctive and higher-value labels.

Three Distinctive Wines. One Deeper Question.

Your experience begins with one themed Premium Wine Dilemma: three carefully selected wines from Greece and internationally recognised wine regions, served at 75 ml each.

Each composition explores a meaningful connection. The wines may share a grape family, a similar structure or a common way of expressing their origin. In other journeys, the contrast itself tells the story.

You taste beyond the first impression: the detail in the aroma, the shape of the acidity, the texture, the length and the choices made in the vineyard and cellar.

Which wine reveals more with time?
Which one changes after the pairing?
And which story would you choose to take home?

There is no official winner. The most important answer is the one formed in your own glass.

The Wines Travel. The Table Remains Greek.

The journey may cross countries and wine regions, but its flavourful centre remains Greece.

Each wine is paired with a selected Greek cheese, chosen to bring another dimension to the tasting. Salt, creaminess, maturity and texture can soften a wine, sharpen it or reveal a detail that had remained hidden.

The three pairings are served on a stone platter with tasting descriptions, allowing the wines and Greek cheeses to become part of the same conversation.

Choose Your Premium Dilemma

The Premium Selection includes six themed journeys, each built around its own wines, regions and central idea.

Some bring together celebrated wine regions. Others explore varieties with a strong sense of place or wines whose character comes from distinctive vineyards and thoughtful winemaking.

You choose the journey that attracts you. Cinque provides the labels, pairings and context. Your palate decides where the story leads.

Depth Without Formality

The Wine Dilemma Premium is guided, but never rigid.

You will receive tasting notes and maps, learn about the grapes, regions and producers represented, and have the time to observe how each wine develops in the glass. Questions and conversation are welcome throughout.

You do not need to be a wine expert. You only need the curiosity to look a little closer.

Premium Is in the Story Behind the Wine

A premium wine is not simply a more expensive glass.

It may carry the mark of a singular vineyard, a smaller production, an unusual variety or years of knowledge distilled into one bottle. When three such wines arrive at the same table, the dilemma becomes richer—not because one must defeat the others, but because each deserves to be understood on its own terms.

For a little while, three places, three producers and three different choices share the same Greek table.

Three distinctive wines. Three stories. One deeper dilemma.
