Icelandic wines refer to wines produced in Iceland, a Nordic island nation known for its unique climate and geography. Due to its cool climate and volcanic soil, traditional grape cultivation is challenging, and wine production is relatively limited compared to more temperate regions. However, in recent years, innovative local winemakers have experimented with climate-resilient grape varieties, using greenhouses and advanced agricultural techniques to cultivate grapes and produce wines.
