DRINK ITALIA!
Sardinia and Sicily have a proud and long-lived history of wine production, dating from colonization by the Greeks, whose presence dominated the islands from around 800 to 300BC. They brought vines with them to grow the grapes that they would turn into wine. Today, Sicily has the largest area of vineyards per capita of any region in Italy. Wine is big business here, especially robust reds and Marsala, the dessert wine. On Sardinia, growing conditions favour both red and white wines (but we will look at the whites another time…).
