Stefanos Kogias

DipWSET - Tutor of WSPC Wine & Spirits School

For as long as I can remember myself, I always liked to share anything that excited me... Games, comics, books, songs. That was probably the reason I became a DJ. Later came the radio, which I have been serving non-stop since 1986 (Antenna, Star FM, Club FM, Safari, Republic 100.3 & Fly 104). Djing became a way of expression, an element of my character. Over the years the need to share has been transformed into a desire to communicate… my passion, my knowledge and my experiences. This is how I handled the wine “bug” that caught 17 years ago. The culmination of all this experience was my integration into the WSPC rapporteur group. WSPC showed me the way in this journey of knowledge and unique discoveries that are eternal. I began sharing once again – in writing this time - everything that fascinated me in my wine travels, my experiences, and most importantly, the most remarkable wines I tasted.

Stefanos Kogias studied Petroleum Chemistry, but for the last 17 years he has been a taste consultant and deals professionally with wine.

In 2018 he obtained Level 4 at WSPC, earning the WSET Diploma. He holds a Certificate from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) in the field of “Viticulture and Modern Wine Methods”.

He created and directs the company Wine Style, the project “Food & Wine Experience” as well as the “Thessaloniki Wine Show” – a wine exhibition in Thessaloniki.

Since 2019 he is a Lecturer at the Wine & Spirit Professional Center (WSPC), the official body in Greece of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), based in Great Britain.

For the past 15 years he has been writing articles in many print and electronic media such as Oenochoos, Klik.gr, Krasia.gr, D-Files magazine, Oinologia magazine and Positivelife.gr.
