On the podcast this week, we’re embracing the spirit of summer and diving into the world of wine to explore its parallels with coffee.

The wine industry is often considered ahead of the curve compared to coffee, but is that always the case? In conversations with leading wine and coffee experts, we explore the history and influence of these two worlds to offer a deeper understanding of the wine market and how to maximise its potential in coffee businesses.

Morten Scholer, coffee and wine author provides a broad overview of the similarities and differences between these two industries.

Phil Barnet, Sales Manager at Les Caves de Pyrene, discusses the dramatic shifts in the consumption and production of wine in the past three decades.

Robert Robinson, Co-founder of Notes Coffee Roasters, shares how his hospitality venues deliver a quality coffee offering during the day and an equally-good wine experience by night.

For a detailed comparison of the coffee and wine industries, pick up a copy of Morten Scholer’s book – Coffee and Wine: Two Worlds Compared.
