Every year the American wine magazine “Wine Enthusiast” gives out the awards “Wine Star” in ten categories, among which are best company in Europe, man of the year, importer of the year, wine producer, best region, etc.


The Greek wine-cellar “Boutari” received the 2008 award for best “Europe Winery of the Year.” The company “Boutari” – the single Greek candidate, wins the award, to which only five famous companies in Europe were accepted to apply. The award is given for high quality wine, which combines local and foreign types of grapes.


“Boutari” competed with his quality with companies from all around the world. Casa Laostolle from Chile, which produces also the liquor Grand Marnier, was chosen for the best world wine producer company of the year.


Mr. Piero Antinori from Marchesi Antiori company was awarded for the achievements of his family, which deals with growing vineyards in Tuscany, produces wine from 600 years or in other words from 26 generations.


Jean-Charles Boisset from Boisset Family, which is headquartered in Burgundy took the award for innovator of the year for aluminum packaging tetra-pack for preserving wines. Man of the year was Robert Sands from Constellation Brands, which is the biggest wine producing company in the world.


During 2009 “Boutari” made 130 years since its foundation, and the award “Wine Enthusiast” is recognition during all those years. By receiving this award, the company reasserts its positions on the world wine producers’ map. The Boutari family produced its first bottle in Naousa during 1979 and only for the few past years it has won over 270 awards. Some of the recognized and honored Boutari wines by experts are “Skalani,” “Four Seasons,” “Filiria,” “Malagouzia,” “Vinsanto,” and “Grande Reserve.”
