In a vineyard on the Greek island of Santorini, winemaker Yiannis Boutaris gestures to a dried-up “kouloura” vine trained into the shape of a basket to protect the grapes from the gruelling summer sun.. The plant endured for 90 years but was finally killed by heat and drought..
Its fate highlights a growing problem on Santorini, where low rainfall and searing temperatures from 2023-2025 have increased the price of grapes, slashed wine production and intensified concerns over water supply.
Boutaris, a sixth-generation winemaker who runs the Domaine Sigalas winery, now part of the Kir-Yianni family of wineries, is testing a pilot project with local authorities and scientists to take wastewater from homes and hotels to irrigate the vines.
