Micro-wineries in Cyprus are reviving traditional wine-making techniques to give Commandaria, the world's oldest recorded and named wine, a chance at a comeback. The sweet wine, praised by ancient Greek giants Homer and Euripides, has struggled to find its niche in the global market. The wine's rich history and unique flavors have attracted a steady domestic and foreign following, with some wineries finding success in the national market. However, marketing efforts and a lack of understanding of the wine's potential have hindered its international success. Small wineries in Cyprus hope to win back consumers and make a collective push to market Commandaria abroad.
