Oz Clarke: A Life Through Wine

Jaega Wise talks to Oz Clarke about how he got into wine and his lifelong passion for it, and his thoughts on the future of the industry from natural wine to climate change.

Oz Clarke, the popular man of wine, has enjoyed success in wine writing and broadcasting for four decades. First appearing on our screens on 成人快手2鈥檚 Food and Drink in the 1980s, he helped lead a wine drinking revolution in Britain.

Visiting Oz to share a glass or two from his collection, Jaega Wise hears about his varied career and lifelong passion for wine, as well as how he鈥檚 never been afraid of introducing controversy into the wine world. Oz also shares his thoughts on the natural wine movement and how the industry will need to adapt to climate change.

We also hear from fellow wine critic Jancis Robinson on Oz鈥檚 impact on our wine drinking culture; and we visit winemaker Emma Rice at Hattingley Valley to hear how the English wine industry is faring, which Oz has long been a cheerleader for.

Presented by Jaega Wise and produced by Sophie Anton for 成人快手 Audio in Bristol
