Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 28 ratings
  • The older episodes are great. Insightful interviews into the burgeoning British wine scene with some of the industry leaders. Unfortunately the quality of guests goes down markedly in later seasons. Particular lowlights were a girl who was marketing Thermos flasks for wine and was being heralded as a creative genius and four exceptionally privileged daughters whose sole contribution to the wine industry seemed to be making tiktoks for their dad's vineyard.

  • Informative and interesting podcast

    This is a great podcast for anyone who enjoys wine, it is relaxed, informative and accessible. Rebecca is a great interviewer and clearly does her research before each podcast. Best to listen with a nice chilled glass of English wine to hand.

  • Sarah Driver interview

    Another informative interview. It is fascinating to hear the different ways people come to having an interest in vine growing and the production of wine, then how it becomes a passion. Awaiting the next one with bated breath.
