Summary

Today, we’re sharing an episode from our friends at The Financial Times. 

If you’ve been to the wine shop lately you may have noticed a trend: wines marketed specifically toward younger drinkers. Many are natural, organic, or biodynamic. Others are made without special certification but boast backstories that focus on the producers, not just the region or grapes. Wine writer Hannah Crosbie joins host Lilah Raptopoulos to give us a primer on what young wine drinkers want. Why are pét nats, skin-contact wines, and chilled reds suddenly everywhere?

Check out Life and Art from FT Weekend wherever you get your podcasts.

you might have noticed a new class of wine that's shown up,

1:02.8

wine that's clearly marketed toward younger drinkers.

1:05.8

There are beautiful labels, there are backstories about women-owned vineyards,

1:10.2

but I actually liked the backstories and I like how these wines taste.
