A TASTE OF GREECE

Under the alcoholic drinks section, due to the Monopoly (Systembolaget) in Sweden, it was not possible to promote and sell wine at ICA and therefore, RECO EXPORTS created the “A Taste of Greece” campaign by adding the wines of the participating wineries in 5 urban restaurants in Stockholm.
