Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Retsina is Greece's best known wine with a distinctive taste of pine resin inherited from pine plugs once used to seal wine jars. Pine needles are now added to flavour the fermenting wine. Kingsley Amis likened drinking it to swallowing a boiled-down cricket bat. It is an acquired taste and is best drunk cold. Draught retsina is a big improvement on the bottled stuff and, strangely, tastes best of all from the can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
