Quick quotes:
“In the UK, it's 20 quid a bottle. I've always thought about it like some people get paid £20 quid an hour. So you know, if someone's going to give you an hour of their life, bloody, make it good if they're drinking your product, and I honestly believe in that.”
“So you give them two tonnes of raspberry crumble because you're pulling out 90% of the water weight, but you've got 20 tons of flavour.”
The conversation:
All the way from Australia, in this episode, I got to chat with the inspired mind behind the always unique and never boring NON World Wines. Aaron Trotman is equal parts funny and sincere, and this interview was a pure joy.
