Another great episode. Love how you guys aren't just 1 trick ponies. All the different types of content gives great variety, from blind tests to 1on1 and roundtable podcasts, to "oooh-weee chef" gives everybody there a voice. I know you don't really like to promote your brands but would also love to see some back of the house winemaking content too! Like especially some of the decision making involved as the product evolves.

I was sure the Meadowbank was gonna be the best in class... until I saw my favourite fridge filler, the Doctor L. I've spent a bit of time in France, Germany and Austria over the last month, knocking back plenty of rizzas. The ubiquitous Domaine Durrmann of Alsace wowed us with some totally left of centre rieslings (and a tasty sylvaner too), all for around 16-18EU.

You can actually get dry auslese from Germany which has botrytized grapes in the blend. Markus Molitor has a range of such wines.

Can you give an example? It can surely only be a very minimal amount of botrytis to maintain an Auselese must weight.

Oooft - are wines usually expensive in Singapore?

@danielmagg6096 2 ай бұрын

@wineforthepeople so to be fair I did some further digging, and the best price I found for single purchase is 39, 3 for 105, still quite the delta. In Singapore the alcohol tax is by abv and comes to between 8 to 10 dollars a bottle, plus gst, plus low volume shipping since we have only 6 million inhabitants. High cost of business plus high markups, I would say Australian wine is about 30 to 40% more ex here than in Australia. The flat rate alcohol tax shifts the sweet spot for a cheap and good wine well towards the high 30ies.
