Ιt is a historical fact that the isle of Rhodes was one of the most important wine production and trade areas in the ancient world. The thousands of rhodian amphorae all of them bearing god Sun as their trade mark that were found dispersed in the Mediterranean basin quenched with "Rodian wine" not only Greece’s but also Egypt’s and Rome’s thirst divulging a precious label of the ancient times. Rhodes was one of the first regions of the Aegean Sea that welcomed the vine from the Orient worshipped it and built on it their well-being and their strength.

The year 1928 – when Cair was founded – is a milestone for modern developments in the island with regard to wine. It was Cair that kept viticulture alive and so in 1971 Rhodes was ready and obtained the right of the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée label for its white, red and sweet wines.

By combining tradition and high technology Cair has succeed to become one of the major (top) wine-producing units in (of) Greece. This is proven both by its numerous prizes in international competitions and its exports in Europe and America.
