Thanks Jimmy great introduction and I look forward to the next episode, our recent trip to Santorini I didn't get to explore the vineyards but many of the vines that I saw that were literally everywhere were small and basket shaped quite interesting, not what I was expecting.
Pithos were used for fermentation and storage of wine as well as for transportation of other products. The handles would help to move these heavy vessels around when empty or full.

Pythos was mostly used for transportation of products, including wine. why would a fermentation and wine storage vessel have handles?
