Corfu Wines
Here in Corfu wine is normally drunk pure, that is without any chemical additives and even if it is diluted, it brings ones heart and sole to life.
Corfiots drink lots of wine, quite often a product originating from their own vineyards. The most popular pure wines such as kakotrigis, moschato, petrokoritho and fraoula are always present on a Corfiot table especially in the villages.
