Choosing wine for your wedding is the biggest wine purchase most people ever make (often hundreds of bottles) and almost nobody teaches you how to do it. In this video: the exact quantity formula, where to spend and where to save, the crowd-pleaser styles that work for 100+ guests, why your toast bubbles shouldn't be Champagne, the sale-or-return trick, corkage math, serving logistics that make cheap wine taste expensive (and expensive wine taste cheap), and how to make the wine actually mean something on the day.

Ever wondered what it actually takes to sell a single bottle for over a million pounds? This episode takes us inside Christie's, the auction house that has been selling wine since 1766, with someone who stands at the rostrum himself.

We sit down with Tim Triptree MW, International Director of Wine & Spirits at Christie's, in Macau, where he's judging the Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards, to trace his path from investment banking to the world's oldest auction house, and to unpack exactly how a bottle goes from a private cellar to a world record hammer price.

Tim walks us through his unlikely route into wine, what it takes to pass the notoriously brutal Master of Wine exam, how Christie's verifies that a bottle is genuinely what it claims to be, and why Chinese wines might be the next big thing to hit the secondary market.

Expect a 1.2-million-pound bottle of whisky, a champagne dosage deep-dive, and a very honest take on why Bordeaux still dominates the room. Tune in!

Alsace is the strangest, most distinctive wine region in France. It's been French, then German, then French, then German, then French again. Its grapes are German. Its bottles are German. Its villages have German names. And yet the wines are unmistakably, deliberately French. In this video I break down everything you need to read an Alsace label: the four "noble" grapes, the AOC system, the 51 Grand Crus (added one by one between 1975 and 2007), the late-harvest sweet wines, Crémant d'Alsace, and the brand-new Premier Cru tier that's being voted on right now. This is your ultimate guide to Alsace wine.

Pour a glass and hold onto your tiara: this episode drops us straight into the gilded world of Rare Champagne, the vintage-only prestige cuvée born at the court of Versailles.

We sit down with Maud Rabin, Managing Director of Rare Champagne, inside the house's headquarters in Reims (in the Salon Marie-Antoinette itself) to unravel a story that runs from a queen's love of pineapple in 1785 to a bottle dressed by Van Cleef & Arpels two centuries later.

Maud trades ten years in fashion for the world of Champagne, tracks down the very family who relaunched the brand, and reveals why Rare Champagne only exists in vintage years, why it took four decades to make just four rosés, and why the tiara on every bottle is glued by hand, one dot at a time, by a team of eight women in Reims.

Expect royal history, Chardonnay obsession, and a glass of Rare 1988 paired with Comte. Tune in!

If you think that Orange wine is made from oranges, then this video is definitely for you. 

Orange wine. Skin-contact wine. Amber wine. You've seen it on every natural wine bar list in the last few years and probably wondered what on earth it actually is. In this video, I break down everything: what orange wine really is (white wine made like red wine), where it came from (Georgia, 8,000 years ago, fermented in giant clay vessels buried in the ground), how it almost disappeared, and how two stubborn winemakers in a tiny village on the Italian-Slovenian border quietly brought it back in the 1990s. Plus how to taste it, what to eat with it, and the bottles to start with.
