Wine Trends

from The Food Programme Hosted by BBC Radio 4

Simon Parkes reports from the London International Wine fair to discover the latest trends in the wine industry. Simon meets wine producers from emerging wine producing countries such as India and Brazil to taste the wines that could soon be hitting the supermarket shelves in the UK. He also samples wines with a lower alcohol strength to discover if it is possible to produce wines that taste good without the high levels of alcohol. The Food Programme also reports on two smaller festivals focussing on 'natural wine': wines made with a minimum of chemical input to find out whether natural wines are now becoming more established in the UK wine market. Presenter: Simon Parkes Producer: Martin Poyntz-Roberts
