Description

In this episode, we explore the gap between popularity and critical recognition in New Zealand wine. Sauvignon Blanc dominates production and exports, yet it doesn’t always feature at the very top of major wine awards. We break down what wine critics actually look for—balance, complexity, structure, and ageing potential—and how that differs from what makes Sauvignon Blanc so widely loved. From regional success in Marlborough to broader judging trends, this episode explains why the most popular wine isn’t always the most highly awarded. If you want to better understand how wine is assessed—and where Sauvignon Blanc fits—this episode gives you a clear, grounded perspective.

Can AI replace Sommelier

Can artificial intelligence really replace a sommelier? 🍷🤖 From AI wine recommendation apps to supermarkets introducing AI wine assistants, the wine world is starting to change. In this episode, we explore why AI sommeliers are emerging, what they’re actually good at, and whether wine expertise can really be replicated by technology. We also look at the bigger issue behind the trend: why so many people feel intimidated by wine in the first place, and how AI could reshape the way consumers discover wine—including wines from New Zealand. Is this the future of wine buying, or is wine still ultimately a human experience? Follow Vknowgeek for more wine insights and commentary.
