videoHave you ever added salt to your wine?🧂🍷
Probably not. And no, we are not suggesting you start sprinkling it into your glass. But salt on your plate can completely change how a wine tastes. It can soften bitterness, tame sharp acidity, and allow fruit and texture to come forward. The result is a wine that feels smoother, rounder, and more balanced. In this video, Julien explains why understanding this simple interaction can elevate almost any bottle at your table. Sometimes better wine is not about spending more. It is about pairing smarter. 🎥Enjoy the full video and discover all Julien’s tips. See you there!

videoThe Pruning Mistake That's Killing Old Vines
Dylan Grigg is one of Australia's most respected viticulturists. He's just come back from speaking at a farming conference in Burgundy, traveling through the Jura, and he brought a suitcase full of ideas that challenge a lot of what we think we know about growing grapes. In this conversation we get into some big questions — and some uncomfortable answers. Do old vines actually make better wine, or are we romanticising the side effects of accumulated stress and poor pruning? Does deliberately stressing vines improve quality, or is that an oversimplification that's doing long-term damage? And why are French vignerons fermenting willow bark and spraying it on their vines? We cover a lot of ground: → What Dylan taught Burgundian farmers about managing heat stress — and what they're already dealing with that mirrors Australia → Why middle-aged vines in France are dying while the genuinely old vines survive — and what grafting methods have to do with it → The pruning problem — how decades
