  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Yeastie Boys: Wine's Modern Microbial Solutions
Q: How close are we to leveraging microbial solutions to produce lower-alcohol wines without invasive processing?
Experts suggest that certain yeasts may reduce alcohol content by small percentages in some cases, and ongoing research points toward the possibility of achieving lower-alcohol wines through microbial means in the coming years, though it is not yet at zero percent.
Yeastie Boys: Wine's Modern Microbial Solutions
Q: What is bioprotection and how can it reduce sulfite usage in winemaking?
Bioprotection uses selected yeasts that suppress indigenous and spoilage microbes during fermentation, thereby reducing the need for sulfites while preserving the must's quality and the wine's character.
Drop Stop: Wine's Big Water Issue
Q: What are the best ways to implement irrigation without compromising wine quality?
Use data-driven tools (soil probes, humidity sensors, sap flow measurements) to apply water precisely when and where needed, focus on soil water correction rather than surface drips, and ensure water sources are sustainable and well-regulated.
Drop Stop: Wine's Big Water Issue
Q: Is irrigation compatible with terroir-specific fine wine production?
Yes, but only with careful, site-specific management, including soil-water diagnostics, appropriate rootstocks, planting densities, and targeted irrigation strategies that support rather than override the vine's terroir signals.
Greg Lambrecht UNCUT - Taster
Q: Old world or new world?
Old world.
