Yannis Boutaris was born at Thessaloniki in 1942. His recorded nationality is Greece. He was educated at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as businessperson, politician and oenologist.
Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.

Yannis Boutaris died in 2024, aged 82. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
