Joe Fattorini on wine BS (Part 2)
Fellow BSers,
Part 1 of my interview with Joe was so well received that I’m sharing Part 2 already with a tinge of melancholy; for now at least, there is no more. So like the gourmands that you are, savour this and chew well. Then get on Twitter and start the campaign for an urgent Part 3.
Enough drama!

Why we drink so much Champagne
Innovation in wine production
Environmental challenges
