Wine tourism is emerging as one of the most important forms of alternative, sustainable tourism in wine countries, such as Greece, in the post-COVID-19 era. In this paper, consumers’ motives for wine tourism in Greece today are investigated regarding (i) their consumption habits related to wine, (ii) their experience with wine tourism, (iii) the parameters that would encourage their visit to a wine region, such as wine, the winery, and general regional characteristics, and (iv) the source of information consulted for a wine tourism experience. The questionnaire was conducted from April to May 2023, with 595 participants, via the Google Forms platform. The statistical analysis was performed with basic tools, as well as cross and chi-square tests, to analyze the data. The highlights of the results indicate that consumers (the participants of the survey) consume more wine today than before the pandemic (57%) and have previous experience in wine tourism (59.8%), with the majority of them having visited a winery more than once (67.4%). The most popular activity at the winery was found to be wine tasting (46.6%), followed by open discussion about wine (35.2%), and, at the regional level, visiting the sights (46%) and doing activities in nature (30.6%). Future participants are looking for innovation in wine tourism, with trained staff (77.5%) and organized tours (74.3%), the organization of wine festivals and other events (71.9%), opportunities to explore the local community, such as the outdoors (83.5%) and its culture and history (70.9%), during their visit, and available information on wine tourism opportunities online (73%). They also are encouraging the transition of the Greek wine tourism industry to the digital world. Based on the overall results, three types of support are proposed for the successful, sustainable development of wine tourism in wine-producing countries.

Council. 2 This initiative encompasses two major parts, namely, the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. The Silk Road Economic Belt is a land-based network, stretching from China to Europe with a host of trade and infrastructure projects. The 21st Century Maritime Silk Road is a sea-based network throughout Asia and the Pacific with shipping lanes and port developments. The two projects, collectively, are known as "One Belt, One Road"(OBOR), "Belt and Road (B&R)", "Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)", or the "New Silk Road".OBOR spans more than 68 countries, encompasses 4.4 billion people and accounts for 40% of the global GDP. It is a collection of interlinking trade deals and infrastructures throughout Eurasia and the Pacific. 3 High-speed and medium-speed railways were essential for the connectivity of the land-based Silk Road, therefore, infrastructure connectivity is a priority in the implementation of the OBOR initiative. 4 The initiative aims to seek common development and prosperity along the ancient Silk Road trade routes, by building a trade and infrastructure network that connects Asia with Europe and Africa. 51 The Belt and The Road, Specials, available at https://eng.yidaiyilu.gov.cn/ztindex.htm. 2 The Plan for Building Fujian into the Core Area of the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, available at https://eng.yidaiyilu.gov.cn/zchj/dfgg/1465.htm. 3 James Griffiths, Just what is this One Belt, One Road thing anyway?, available at https://edition. cnn.com/2017/05/11/asia/china-one-belt-one-road-explainer/index.html. 4 Tseng and Lim [1]. 5 B&R Initiative to boost tourism development in all participating countries, available at https://eng. yidaiyilu.gov.cn/qwyw/rdxw/16016.htm.
