From a view point of a sommelier and serial wine traveller. 
Nerdiness level: beginner, sommelier level: medium, excitement level: advanced!

I'm a sommelier from Kazakhstan, currently working and studying in France. I have an undying passion to explore every wine corner in this world and share it with you - one episode at a time. 

I also specialise in marketing, communications, PR and events. Bringing in past experience in Human Ressources, I'm curios about people in wine and their stories. 

A serial wine pins&diplomas collector: DipWSET with Merit, Weinakademiker, Italian Wine Ambassador, Cava Advanced Educator, finalist of Best Sommelier of Kazakhstan, completed courses on: Champagne, Burgundy, Jerez, Swiss Wines, Wines of South Africa, Wines of Australia, Rioja... More coming;)

This episode of the Introvert Wine Podcast is a very personal one.

In January, I did Dry January as a wine professional — not to prove a point, not to demonise wine, but out of curiosity. To explore what sobriety and moderation can realistically look like when wine is your job, your passion, and your culture.

In this episode, I talk about:
 🍺 What actually works in the no- and low-alcohol world (spoiler: beers are winning)
🍷 How zero-alcohol wines are made — and why it’s complicated
🧠 Working in wine while sober (yes, possible… but nuanced)
🧩 The mental and psychological side of alcohol in our industry
✨ The very real physical benefits of drinking less

There’s still a lot of scepticism around no/low alcohol — especially in traditional wine countries — but this category is growing fast. From legislation in France and Italy to expanding no/low sections at wine fairs like Wine Paris, it’s clear: this conversation isn’t going away.

This isn’t a manifesto. It’s an experiment, a reflection, and an invitation to think about balance, mindfulness, and adaptability in wine.

🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

And if you’re navigating Dry January, moderation, or just questioning your relationship with alcohol — you’re not alone.

As 2025 comes to a close, I’m thrilled to share a very special episode of the Introvert Wine Podcast with Mark DeWolf, wine professional, ADHD advocate, and fellow introvert. @dewolfexperiences @halifaxwinefair 

This episode is all about wine & health — and in more ways than one. Between the holiday season’s pressures, deadlines, and the holiday blues, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and think about our wellbeing.

We dive into:
 🌿 Mindful drinking and creating a healthier relationship with wine
 🧠 Mental health and neurodivergence in the wine industry
 🤝 Inclusivity, accessibility, and support in hospitality
 🎯 Year-end reflections on balance, self-care, and wine culture

Mark also shares his personal journey with ADHD and depression, reminding us that if you’re struggling, reaching out and seeking help is always the right step. 💛

For me, this episode has inspired a personal experiment — trying Dry January in the wine world, and exploring what it’s like to work in wine while taking a pause from alcohol.

🎧 Join in now for a thoughtful, honest, and reflective conversation — a perfect listen to close out the year with care and mindfulness.

I’m thrilled to welcome Filipa Pato — one of Bairrada’s most influential voices — to my Introvert Wine Podcast. 🥳 I’m very grateful to her that we were able to sit together and try to squeeze in years of our conversations and exchanges on the topics that are important to both of us! ❤️

🍇 I talk to Filipa about her path to biodynamic winemaking - the why, hows, ups and downs. How intuition, science, and respect for nature shape her “wines without makeup.”

🌿 We also touched upon the old vines - they do seem a mystery yet to be discovered. And Filipa shared the story of Bairrada’s ancient Baga vines — their resilience, their elegance, and why they matter more than ever.

🌍 And, of course, we couldn’t escape the topic of wine, moderation, no safe dose discussion…  Filipa shares her perspective on the place of wine in human culture in the light of the recent UN discussion around “no safe dose,” and why wine is more than just alcohol — it’s heritage, agriculture, and human connection.🤔

This episode is honest, thoughtful, and full of Filipa’s quiet wisdom.❤️ 
Perfect listening for anyone who loves wine with depth, purpose, and a sense of place.

Rioja knows how to impress - my first visit to the region was in the fall time, and as soon as I saw all the purple, yellow, orange and dark green shades of the landscape, I fell in love ❤️ 

I tasted Rioja well ahead visiting the region, and my head was full of stereotypes of mature oaked reds.🍷The more time I spent in the region and more winemakers I met, my perception started to shift. But still I wanted to talk about this region and its recent transformations with someone who loves Rioja equally (or maybe even a bit more)!😉 

Peter Arijs is responsible for Education within the Marketing team of Rioja DOCa, you may know him well as the face behind Rioja Academy 🍷 For me Peter is a person who knows every stone and every vine in the region, and I truly admire his passion for Rioja wine, and Spanish wine overall. Of course, I wouldn’t miss a chance to ask him for some blind tasting tips 🔥

We live in a funny era, don’t we? While wine consumption is in decline, vineyards are getting pulled out, the wine tourism seems to be growing fast and strong 😅😲

When the pandemic hit (yes, it was 6 years ago, people) we never thought we would travel the same again, without masks or vaccine certificates. But here we are: seeking adventures and memorable experiences more than ever before 🤩💃🏼One of such experiences is definitely wine tourism or gastronomy tourism, if we take a wider approach. 🥂

But what is wine tourism, who are wine tourists, do we travel the same, what do we seek and what do we pay attention to? Is wine tourism the same in Italy and Kazakhstan? What about Spain and Ukraine or France and Georgia? 

I had the best partner in crime: Zhanar has the experience and the knowledge, but also passion and drive to never stop exploring 💪🏻🔥

So I will not act as if I know everything about Wines of Moldova and just have with me today the OG lonely subscriber and my good wine introvert friend Dima to talk us through the vinous tapestry of his beautiful home country  We talk history, grapes, trends, wine styles, consumers, also occasionally try to get Dima cancelled for his opinions on things  All the things you wine nerds love so much, so enjoy!

Definitely the most technically challenging one, but it was absolutely worth it! 😉👌🏻

I love wine and I love technology, so this episode was meant to be from the very beginning 🍷❤️

AI has been part of our lives for a while now, in many areas, not just IT or technology, but even everyday simple tasks. So naturally, it became part of the wine industry as well. 🍇 Generally, including the wine world, there are those who are for it, and those against. I consider myself a curious cautious supporter and love to test and investigate different features. 

In this episode I invite Chat GPT to be my co-host and talk about different aspects of AI in wine: from wine growing to wine production, wine education and communication! Check out the links to see the end result 😉

Stay curious and share the love of wine! 😜🍷

Yes, it’s definitely an episode that was long coming, and I was just waiting for the right moment and person to record it with. I know you love me, but having speakers that know more about the topic in question is what makes this podcast more diverse and also more educational (myself included) 😉

I know Asem since 2017 and she was the one who introduced me to the modern and high quality wine from Kazakhstan thanks to her work at @arba_wine. Throughout my travels and work there are a lot of people who always ask me if Kazakhstan makes wines, what kind of wines and if they are any good (spoiler: yes, they are!)? 😅 So in this episode we chat about history of winemaking in Kazakhstan, grapes grown here and used for production of wine, about the profile of the consumer of local wine, as well as the curious case of Arba Wine who continue to push and surprise their customers 💪🏻🥂🇰🇿 

Thank you @asem_kosem for bringing your knowledge and expertise ❤️
You can also follow Asem’s other profile dedicated to the history and winemaking in Kazakhstan - @kazakh_wine_enthusiast 👌🏻

You know I love to have people on my podcast, who are passionate about the topic we are discussing 😉 So when I was thinking about an episode about Georgia I wanted to talk to somebody who’s based in Georgia, drinks and breathes this beautiful country ❤️ 
Being based in the country was not the only criteria, as I always aim high, and I am in luck that Dariko @dariko.drinks.wine was open to have this chat. Dariko is an excellent communicator (and IWSC agrees with me having selected her as an Emerging Talent in wine communication) and has great sense of humour (check latest her reel on being a tourist with a bottle of Saperavi in a summer Tbilisi 😅), as well as being very curious and knowledgeable not only about Georgian wine, but wine overall 🤩
We have talked with Dariko about some milestones of Georgian history that made it a wine producing country it is now, obviously, we couldn’t skip speaking about qvevri and different grape varieties, and, as an emerging tradition, Dariko gives you her pick of the wines for these summer weeks among many other things 🥂🍷
You can follow Dariko on different platforms and enjoy her tips on wine and travel 😉

This maybe the most important and most difficult episode I did so far. 💔Not because I didn’t enjoy it but rather because it’s a very personal story for me. 
I truly believe that wines of Ukraine, along with its gastronomy, nature and people are worth discovering. 🍷And I’m extremely grateful to Maryna for taking her time and educating me (and you through me) about her beautiful country and grapes 🍇

I’m sure once the war is over a lot of you would be curious to visit Ukraine, and I certainly advise you to do so ✊🏻 To prepare you for the visit so you can tell your Telti Kuruk from Odessa Black, enjoy our chat on wines of Ukraine: regions, grapes, impact of war, trends and Maryna’s top 3 Ukrainian wines 😉🥂🇺🇦
Dedicated to people of Ukraine, their resilience and love of life 💛💙

Oh the roads that lead us into the wine world, who would have thought that being stuck for months in a winery during the pandemic would result in a DipWSET certification and WeinAkademiker title for Nicholas 😅

Jokes aside, this is a truly an episode that I’m most proud of. Not because of myself, but of how generous and passionate Nic is in sharing his insights into the science of wine. 🥹🍷

This could have easily been a five-hour episode of my personal education on tribology (nothing to do with tribes), tannins, salivation, acidity and all those sexy wine things 😆🥂👌🏻 but I had to restrain myself and possibly leave some space for future discussions 😉

I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did recording it for you, as usual- like, share, comment, subscribe and rate- to spread the love of wine. And I also strongly advise you to follow Nic on LinkedIn to follow his research further ❤️

What is a perfect sommelier? In many cases we think about technical knowledge like appellations, vintages, producers, labels...
But the more sommeliers I meet and more wine events I help organising, I tend to think that the personal qualities and soft skills sometimes make a bigger difference.
So much focus in sommelier profession is put on achievements, but few speak about preparation of the mental and physical aspects of your body and mind for the exams, certifications and contests...
A person who can tell you best about preparing for competitions and winning them, is a person who succeeded in doing so, and I'm very grateful to be able to talk about sommelier mind with  Marc Almert, ASI Best Sommelier of the World 2019. 
Bonus! Marc educates me on Swiss wine, having lived and worked in Zurich for the past 7 years, he breaks my (and probably your) stereotypes about Swiss wine: that it is all expensive, not great quality, inaccessible and not trendy! 
Enjoy!

If you work in wine, you’ll have to deal with foreign languages. Even if you are a native speaker, reading/learning/pronouncing French, Italian, German wines and grapes correctly is the minimum you should consider.
Wine is a cultural product, it has travelled, witnessed and survived many historical events, of course, it has myths and legends that surround it. Sometimes, knowing the translation of the name of a grape variety can shed some light on its past.
Do we describe wine differently? Have you thought about it? Does speaking different languages get you a better job (spoiler: yes), and, finally, is AI driving us all - wine communicators- out of work??? 
All of the above in an exciting second episode of Introvert Wine Podcast with Raul Guizzo. Serial polyglot, traveler and writer 👌🏻🥂
