VERGOS Auctions is inaugurating a new era for Greek wine production and, at the same time, a new category for the House, by organizing an auction exclusively dedicated to Greek wine. The auction will take place in front of an audience on Sunday, December 14, 2025 (at 1:00 p.m.) at the Papagiannakos Winery in Markopoulo, Attica, and aims to highlight the uniqueness, quality, and international potential of Greek winemaking.

How to participate

Anyone present at the Papagiannakos Winery on the day and time of the auction may participate. Interested parties can also participate by submitting a written or telephone bid, as well as online – live via the House’s website. www.vergosauctions.com. 

Nineteen wineries from all over Greece are participating in the auction, offering 127 select and rare labels from the cellars and personal collections of the wine producers themselves. These include, among others, bottles that are over 20 and in some cases 30 years old, large 3, 6, and 9-liter bottles, and even bottles with hand-painted labels.

With this new themed auction, the House offers collectors, wine lovers, and professionals the opportunity to acquire distinctive labels that are not easily found on the primary market. At the same time, the auction:

• contributes to promoting the uniqueness of Greek varieties and terroirs to a wider audience, both in Greece and abroad,
• creates a new, modern platform for dialogue and outreach for the sector, in line with the standards of corresponding markets abroad,
• places Greek wines in the international category of collectible wines through their participation in a prestigious auction, backed by the experience and reliability of VERGOS Auctions.

The catalog for the House’s first auction in the wine sector was compiled by wine critic and author Yiannos Konstantinou. Yiannos Constantinou has been writing about wine for 27 years and has published 13 books and wine guides. His book “The Cyprus Wine Guide” was awarded the Gourmand International Award for “Best Wine Book in the World” among all languages (Best Wine Guide in the World 2006), while his book “Discovering Wine,” published by Metaixmio, was awarded at the Gourmand International Awards as the Best National Wine Book in the Greek language.

Andreas Vergos, Managing Director of VERGOS Auctions, says of the Greek wine auction: “Our involvement with Greek wine is a completely natural next step for our company. We believe that the time has come for great Greek wines to take their place in an organized, transparent, and outward-looking secondary market, just as is the case internationally with the “fine & collectible wines” category. The particularly warm response from winemakers and professionals in the field confirms that Greek wine production is now mature enough to stand on equal footing with some of the most recognized wine regions in the world.”
