Over the past several months, the U.S. has gone through a new civil rights movement, where allyship can no longer be performative. Wine consumers are diverse in terms of age and race.

Italian Wine Podcast Episode 457: The benefits of a more diverse wine industry. Audio from Manjaval Janjo's wine2wine 2020 session, with moderator Paul Caputo. For the last 10 years or so, going as far back as the banking crisis of 2008, most sectors of the wine trade have suffered. Sectors which are seen to excel are more an exception, rather than the rule. Prosecco has been a phenomenal success, but even that curve is beginning to flatten. The wine industry has long wrestled with the challenges of re-inventing, modernising, and promoting itself to a younger audience, while our cousins in the spirits and beer industries have easily embraced and adapted to the modern society in which we all trade. Of course, it’s easy to cite beer’s relative ease of production when compared to wine, and spirit’s versatility as a cocktail ingredient; but are we as an industry missing the bigger picture? Studies from the US have shown that younger audiences continue to view wine as “dad’s drink” as well as being “uncool”. I argue that we can no longer afford to keep wine as an elite club and must find a way to diversify our target audience. We only need to look to the success of other alcoholic beverage categories, to see the correlation between sales figures and their marketing campaigns.

GUYS! I know that for the last couple of weeks we've been a lil geeky with the Friday podcasts. It was Scienza, yes, but c'mon, let's be honest over here: we missed Stevie as a mediator. Yes we did. She is exactly what Scienza needs: a big voiced asian/new yorker? Maybe. A tiktok obsessed weirdo? For sure A "I have something like 40 ring lights pointed at me in my office" kinda gal? I let you answer that. But for sure, every time she unsuccessfully tries to land a joke - it is freaking funny. Like she tries so hard it gives me life. It reminds me that trying is already winning. So anywayssssss here's our lil Santa Lucia gift to you. A brand new episode of Everybody Needs a Bit of Scienza, with a question from Tiziana Forni, straight outta the big apple.
