After many years writing about, tasting and judging wine, I’ve created a place for conversation with the people whose ideas and actions have shaped the wine industry — and the wine you taste in the glass. Oliver onWine gives you the opportunity to hear directly from industry leaders and shapers, many of whom typically avoid the public gaze and let their work speak for itself. In this series, I’ll introduce you to winemakers, business leaders, owners, marketers and thinkers who are driving the evolution of wine. I don’t need to agree with everyone I speak to — and in some cases, we may strongly disagree — but the conversation is what matters. Together, we’ll explore the key ideas behind wine: the craft, the science, the business and the culture — through the people shaping its future.

    Surviving Wine's Non-Existential Crisis with Robert Joseph

    Former leading UK wine critic, creator of The International Wine Challenge and current industry thought leader, Robert Joseph is a deeply respected and internationally recognised free thinker who has also turned his talents and expertise towards making wine in France and Georgia. Never afraid to call things as he sees them, Joseph has the kind of restless mind that is always thinking about the many influences affecting international wine business and how the industry might better respond to the myriad of challenges it currently faces – from changes in consumer tastes, climate, packaging, wine consumption and even weight-loss tablets. Based in Bordeaux, a wine region shrinking before his very eyes, he offers opinions based on experience, insight and candour. #wine #winemaking #winebusiness #wineexport #wineinnovation  In this episode of Oliver onWine, Jeremy Oliver talks with Robert Joseph about these challenges and what the industry really needs to do to adapt to the many changes occurring around it.

    The business model for wine is centuries old. Time for a change?

    A co-owner of Fourth Wave Wines since 2009 Nicholas Crampton has held senior roles in the sales and marketing of wine since 2001, including roles with Southcorp and the Fosters Group. With his team, Crampton has launched a plethora of cutting-edge wine labels, including the very recognisable Little Giant, Elephant in the Room and Tread Softly brands. Here, from a perspective that comes from the opposite end of the telescope to most involved in wine production and marketing, he provides a fascinating view of how a modern wine company can thrive in a competitive global environment without owning a winery or a vineyard – and by striving to understand consumers and anticipate trends. In particular he is targeting the younger generation; the group most wineries are struggling to engage with. #wine #winemaking #winebusiness #wineexport #wineinnovation In this episode of Oliver onWine, Jeremy Oliver talks with Nicholas Crampton about how he goes about the process of creating a wine brand, how he works with producers and retailers, and how he marries observable market trends with innovative concepts in wine.
