(BBCNews) - The Greek financial crisis has generated a lot of resentment between Greece and its richer eurozone partners, especially Germany. But not all Germans are fed up with the Greeks. Near Athens, one German is standing up for the Greek wine industry.On a windy plain 20 miles outside Athens, grape vines vie for space with suburban sprawl.
The city is spreading out, growing along new roads that were built for the 2004 Olympics to connect Athens to the nearby airport.
Dimitrios Georgas points to his vines which are soon to bear fruit.
"They are ready. If we have some sun for two or three days - then pop!"
