The rise of low and no alcohol with Tom Surgey

In episode two, James is joined by wine expert, Tom Surgey, for a conversation that delves into the rise of sober curiosity and more drinking trends for the future (spoiler, apparently pale rosé is on its way out!). Tom shares tips on what to look for when purchasing wine and champagne from supermarkets, along with top picks for a low and no tipples. This conversation discusses why opting to go for an alcohol-free drink isn’t an inferior experience anymore, thanks to some great brands, and why we are going to see more people opting for low and no drinks.
