My maternal grandparents' last name was Markovitz.. My mothers' father was the Markovitz..his family came from Hungary. From what I learned is that the name may have originated in France..as they were wine growers..this was after the last turk invasion and the country side was destroyed.. the magyars imported wine growers to make wine.. the Markovitz's also have different spellings.. but they all seem to be from the same line. There also seems to be 2 branches, religion-wise..catholics and jewish...which came first? I don't know. Hope this helps you out a bit.

Retsina, which can only be properly applied to wines made in Greece and parts of Cyprus, is made of Savatiano or Athiri grapes (occasionally with Assyrtiko, Rhoditis, or other local grape varieties added as well). The grapes are juiced and the juice allowed to ferment, but during fermentation small pieces of Aleppo Pine resin are added. When the wine is put into bottles, the pieces of resin remain with the parts of wine not bottled. So, the simple answer is that retsina is made from Greek or Cyprian grapes whose juice has been allowed to ferment in the presence of Aleppo Pine resin.
Such beverages include root beer, retsina, rum, rosé wine, ruby port, rye whiskey, and Riesling.
Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Greece and a number of other European countries are famous for their wines.
