The Greek Embassy in Berlin asked German supermarkets to withdraw from sale the Macedonian wine, saying that only Greece could geographically use the name of Macedonia to indicate the origin of its wine.

A letter from the Greek Ambassador for Economy and Trade to Germany Alexander Mitrogos to Manfred Rot, director of the company of Nurnberg that sells wine from the Republic of Macedonia with the indication “Macedonian” within the chain of supermarkets EDEKA, reveals the Greek position to the name issue with Macedonia, Nova Makedonija comments Tuesday.

It is evident that the problem is not in the possible delusion of the foreign wine lovers but it is purely political and provides a distinct picture of what Greece means by the term “compromise” in the name issue.
