Also, the TTO, in collaboration with the Central Macedonia Region and the Winemakers of Northern Greece, also hosted the creators of the International Wine Review (IWR) Michael Potashnik and Donald Winkler.

Launched in 2005, the bi-monthly magazine provides the wine trade (importers, distributors, retailers, sommeliers) and wine enthusiasts, with current and accurate information regarding important wines and regions of the world.

Apart from wines and wineries, the magazine and its website also promote the world’s wine regions as tourism destinations.

In addition, the reports of IWR focus on the world’s top regions and wines while the magazine facilitates contact between wine producers and importers.

It should be mentioned that a special report on the wineries of western, central and eastern Macedonia has been published on the website – www.i-winereview.com – of the International Wine Review.
