  • Battle of the Bubbles

    I still believe unconscious bias occurred here. You can’t tell me predominantly British judges can’t tell a homegrown product over others. Despite the blind tasting it’s relatively easy to spot the difference.

  • Funny, informative and engaging

    This wine podcast is fascinating, providing insights with a sense of humour. Each episode is engaging, the latest one on wine glasses and wine forgeries were notable in looking at the topics from all angles while drawing some great conclusions that an everyday wine drinker can take forward. Well done team - great series.
