Only 24 bottles off this wine exist in the WORLD!

There were only 24 bottles of this rare Swiss wine left in the world. Then Angus and Carlos opened one.In this episode of Got Somme, Master Sommelier Carlos Santos and Angus O’Loughlin explore the fascinating world of rare and allocated wines. Does limited production genuinely signal exceptional quality, or is scarcity sometimes little more than a clever sales technique designed to create FOMO?Carlos reveals how wine allocations work inside the world’s best restaurants, including why venues may receive only one or two bottles of legendary wines such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. He also explains how relationships with distributors, purchasing history and global demand determine who gets access to the most sought-after bottles.The pair then taste an experimental Swiss Merlot from Ticino, supplied by Daniel of Invidia Wines. With the winemaker having passed away and production ending, this bottle represents a genuinely finite piece of Swiss winemaking history.https://invidiawines.com/ https://www.instagram.com/invidia_wines/Episode chapters:00:00 Only 24 bottles remain01:04 Carlos reveals his Swiss connection02:07 How wine allocations create FOMO03:58 Does scarcity automatically mean value?05:09 Why restaurants refuse tiny allocations07:04 Carlos’s smallest-ever wine allocation09:05 What it takes to access Romanée-Conti11:15 The true cost of securing DRC13:27 Are some allocated wines overrated?14:46 Australia’s undiscovered small-production wines16:04 Discovering Swiss wine16:32 Why Ticino is famous for Merlot17:18 The story behind this incredibly rare bottle18:07 Tasting the experimental Swiss Merlot18:46 Carlos’s tasting notes19:12 Final verdict#GotSomme #SwissWine #RareWine #AllocatedWine #WinePodcast #MasterSommelier #TicinoWine #Merlot #WineTasting #DRC #RomaneeConti #AustralianWine
