The company Ante Inc, owned by Giannis, Thanasis, Kostas and Alex Antetokounmpo, joins forces with Hellenic Wineries, a holding company which in 2022 acquired Boutari Wineries, one of the most iconic wine companies in Greece with more than 100 years of presence, and recently the natural mineral water company Ioli.

 

According to a statement, the Antetokounmpo family will acquire approximately 10% of Greek Wineries driven by their deep interest in agriculture, their passion for exporting Greek products internationally and their desire to support the development of a historic sector such as winemaking.

 

Antetokounmpo’s decision “reflects their dedication to making a positive impact in their homeland, Greece. By supporting the development of the wine and bottled water industry, they are ensuring the preservation of a traditional and culturally important sector of products, which has been part of Greece’s heritage for centuries,” the statement said.

 

The partnership between the Antetokounmpo family and Hellenic Wineries under the management of Ilias Georgiadis, who has invested in Greece and in real estate by controlling the listed real estate investment company PREMIA Properties, aims to transform the Greek wine and bottled water industry, combining the pursuit of quality with a global vision. Together, we aspire to present the excellent products of Greece to wine lovers and to the whole world, paving the way for economic growth as well as cultural exchanges.

 

Giannis Antetokounmpo said: “I am particularly happy about the investment in Greek Wineries and our collaboration with Ilias Georgiadis. Together we will manage to develop companies with a history that produce natural products of the Greek land, such as wine and natural mineral water.”
