The history of Papadeas Vinegars Company goes back several years. Before 1974 Panagiotis Papadeas started supplying factories with wine for the production of alcohol spirit and vinegar in Athens and Piraeus. Inspired from these factories he decides to start his own business of vinegar production. Therefore, he started collecting wines from local producers in the Peloponnese. Both the storage of the wine and the vinegar production was in large wooden barrels. The production of the vinegar was accomplished with a compination of the method of Orleans and Germany, according to which the total fermentation of the wine is accomplished in beech barrels, in which additional beech shavings were placed. The process involved the continuous import and export of wine through holes diametrically pointed on top of the barrel.
