Rise of Women Owned Wines

The podcast explores current trends and challenges in the wine industry, particularly focusing on how younger generations' evolving preferences and the rise of de-alcoholized wines are reshaping the market. Mandy Oser, owner and wine director at Ardisha wine bar, shares insights on consumer curiosity towards lesser-known wines from regions like Hungary and Uruguay, as well as the increasing interest in natural wines. She highlights her efforts to promote women-led wineries, driven by a commitment to address underrepresentation in the industry. The discussion includes a tasting of three wines: an Italian white, a Spanish Rioja Gran Reserva produced by innovative sisters, and a de-alcoholized sparkling wine from Oddbird, illustrating the diversity and innovation within the wine world.
