Next Episode: Meet Dr Ganga Shreedhar, behavioural and experimental economist.

Meet Peter Macauley. He is a young wine maker in Chapeldown in Kent. The changing climate here in the UK has meant that growing wine is now a viable option and it turns out wine makers in the UK are getting pretty good at making sparkling wine.

Oenology and viticulture will become your new favourite subject after listening to Peter talk so passionately about his labour of love. His attention to detail from soil content in one side of the field to a sunken part of a vineyard that might be at risk of an overnight frost. This will give you an insight into the sleepless nights for a wine maker and a new appreciation for how every growing season is at mercy of mother nature.

From wine season and wine regions around the world you will come away wanting to know so much more. We really hope you enjoy this episode as much as we have.
