I find it interesting the in Türkiye, a Muslim country, wine/alcohol is not only cultivated but also locally consumed if I'm not mistaken, pardon my ignorance but can anyone with the knowledge explain this to me?? Is it only Turks with Greek decent thay drink wine? Or is it generally accepted in Anatolia?
Yes, millions of Turkish people consume alcohol in their homes and at restaurants, bars, nightclubs, parties, weddings and other social gatherings. Turks even have their own national spirit drink called rakı. Look it up. Turkey has multiple domestic brands that produce rakı, beers, wines, liquors, vodka, whiskey and Cognac-style brandy. Turkey is a secular state with no official religion, and no law based on Islam. Familiarize yourself with the term "cultural Muslim" which means people who identify as Muslim, but don't practice the religion or obey most of its rules in their daily lives. A majority of Turkish people are cultural Muslims. The same is true of other Turkic countries as well. There are also a lot of ex-Muslim (Atheist, Agnostic, Deist, Protestant Christian, New Age spiritualist) Turkish individuals. By the way, most of the Turks of Turkey have varying percentages of admixtures from the Turkicized Anatolian Greeks, Armenians, Kartvelians. Nearly a half Turkish people were either fully or partially descended from the Muslim immigrants that came from Greece, the Balkans, Crimea and the North Caucasus within the last 200 years.
