Discover the Rich History of Australian Wine 🍇 

Great information. 90 penfolds grange was worth every penny

Im wondering whether Sparkling Reds will feature in your red's video. A Christmas day tradition here in Adelaide

As a gardener and start up grape grower, I find it very interesting to hear about the pitfalls of winegrowers. I bought three uprooted mature Mourvedre vines from Southern Europe. It seems that Mourvedre already existed 500 BC in Lebanon and the Phoenicians brought it to Southern Spain where it was cultivated by monks. Israel still has many wild grapevarieties, that survived the Arabic conquest. I have made amazing wines from those wild vines. I also made wine from abandoned vineyards close to Ramat Motza in the Judean hills, probably Sauvignon Blanc white grapes. I now live close to the German border in Salland. I hope to make wine again, having learned lots of reasons why winegrowers failed to innovate vinegrowing. Australia reinvented its wine industry and makes premium vines. Northern Europe chooses non traditional grape varietals and succeeds in capturing a niche market. Buying a Dutch wine is still very special. Small is beautiful. Perhaps the biggest issue with the wine industry is thinking that more is better. I tasted too many low quality wines, heard too many stories about wine maffia in Southern Europe and know how Europe keeps financing the European wine industry. Climate change is here to stay. Western Europe and Northern Europe will get the climate of Southern Europe of last century. Jimmy, you focus too much on the big and the famous. In twenty years from now, I expect the wine industry to be totally changed. You are in England. Focus more on Northern and Western Europe, not on countries that are too hot for grapes to grow.
