Spain is a country where wine is of great importance. For Andalusians and the rest of Spain a meal is not complete without a bottle of good wine, also called 'vino' in Spanish. For special occasions they will serve their 'reservas' which are bottles of wine with the best quality. In this blog, we will tell you all about the history of wine in Andalusia and where to go.

Since 1100 BC, people from the region Andalusia started to produce their own wine. This interest in wine arose when the Greeks introduced them 2.500 years ago to the special beverage made from grapes. During this time a lot of wine was generated from Andalusia and exported to Europe. Their wine was a success. The reason behind this is their top quality and origin of sherry which was very popular among the English people.

Until this day, the production of wine is still executed with a lot of passion. Do you know that almost every province in Andalusia grows grapes? This leads to over 40.000 hectares of vineyards in Andalusia! Their passion results in a continuous production of high quality wines. Do you want to purchase such a wine?

One of the most important wine producing areas of Andalusia is Jerez. Out of the whole wine production in Spain over half comes from here.
