What you are describing is Retsina, a white wine preserved with pine
resin.  I found it not to my tastes, resembling disinfectant in aroma
and taste.  The resin can be found at a good Home Brew shop if you
want to make your own.

Funny thing,  there are lots of goodies I use in my cooking that I
find at the home brew shop such as:
Concentrated Grape Must, Hop Root Cuttings (for Hop Shoots), Dried
Elderberries, Malt, Isinglass, Gelatin in Bulk, Food Acids in Bulk,
Pectinase, Non-sulpher sterilizers (for cordial bottles).

Cheers,

Drake.
