Podcasts about oddbins

'Anything said with absolute confidence and in absolute terms is normally nonsense,' says Oscar Dodd, about Fortnum & Mason's wine and spirits buyer, when it comes to discussing the oft-trotted out truisms about wine, beer and spirits that you often hear. But not everything you hear is so wide of the mark. 'They say that the English drink their red wine too old and too warm, and their white wine too young and too cold,' he adds. 'That is certainly true.'Listen to Country Life podcast on Apple PodcastsListen to Country Life podcast on SpotifyListen to Country Life podcast on AudibleOscar has spent over two decades in the wine and spirits trade, starting out by eschewing university in order to stack shelves in his local Oddbins, falling in love with wine within a matter of weeks.He's since gone on to forge a fascinating career, taking in everything from obscure vineyards that play Mozart to their grapes to help them grow, to walking the streets of New York City persuading people to drink more absinthe. These days, he's found in the more rarefied atmosphere of central London, at Fortnum & Mason, the world's most famous food and drink seller.Oscar talks to James Fisher about his career, his pet hates, why you really shouldn't be saving that bottle of champagne you have under the stairs, and the amazing discoveries in the world of drink that are changing the industry — including Fortnums' alchoholic sparkling tea.Then, of course, he shares his tips on the best tipples to buy for the Christmas period, from whisky, wine and liqueurs to the indispensable seasonal bottle of sherry.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Oscar DoddProducer and editor: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

Now we know the history of wine and what it is, we need to get ourselves some. From an English market perspective but hopefully the principals can be applied to other countries. From Supermarket to Independent merchants, each have their own qualities. What is the "Magic 80"? What is a "Gondola" in a supermarket? The loss of Oddbins its all here in this latest episode, all with fewer sound gremlins. We're getting there, are we? Let us know. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thanks for listening to the Doric Express, in today's big news I'm going to be a grandpapa again! Posh school Xmas party shenanigans; New wine bar in auld Oddbins; Red tape helps blinn, stoot fishers; Geeks all at sea to keep shop going; Driver gets praised for helping out at Crathes crash sight Dons dithering again Mochy dark day again here

Forget what you know about shopping - this tech leader is changing the retail landscape for good!

The moment nobody was hoping for, and perhaps feared most of all...this winter, only on a hosting site near you comes a podcast so irrelevant that almost nobody has noticed its existence. Fergus and Lee are finally reunited and continue their efforts to provide a stream of wine related nonsense.   It's been some time since our valiant cohosts recorded together, mainly as Ferg was so exhausted after their last episode he had to take a break. He did so through the medium of winemaking. Lee just faffed about and contributed nothing. Yes, he's lazy like the yeast. In a triumphant return to TM&TM HQ, Fergus talks us through the facts, stats, and numbers of his 2023 vintage and we attempt to explore how this year looks, and how it may compare to other vintages. Do you like numbers? Do you like nonsense? Then you're going to love this.   We also send a hearty thanks to Mr Mike Boyne for stepping up to the plate on our last episode in a substantial way, as well as issuing a formal apology to our dear listener. Lee pays a small tribute to Oddbins and we look ahead to the coming weeks.   Thanks for sticking with us despite the radio silence and our babblings.   TM&TM: Das Ist Nummerwang, available to lodpod from wherever you cod your pasts this Thursday. May whatever you deity you believe in have mercy on us all.

We have a TM&TM Super Magnificent Incredible Special for you. Due to our powerful connections (by which we means Ferg's phone book) we have managed to convince wine writer extraordinaire Henry Jeffreys to join us.    From his days in the wine trade drinking top notch Rioja with Oddbins to becoming a fully fleded wine writer via the medium of publishing, we uncover a little of Herny's back story. We then dive deep into his wonderful new book Vines In A Cold Climate (available from all good digital and analogue book retailers). From its inception, concept changes, to final tome, Henry shares with us his English wine journey.   Covering American founders, Sussex's Caesar, and Norfolk priests, this book has it all (even Tibetan bowls). We also try to uncover who is the English winemaker most likely to win a fight.   During our recording, Fergus's headphones and mic were so overwhelmed by Henry's presence that they stopped working. Hence Ferg's silence for a chunk of the interview. This also explains why Herny starts talking about cars seemingly apropos of nothing.   A fabulous book based around the personalities involved in pioneering English wine, this is an absolute must for your home library. With huge thanks to Henry for giving up his valuable time to talk to a pair of numpties.   Give this one a listen; it's a real cracker.

On this episode of Scran Rosalind travels to the North East of Fife to meet Peter Crawford of Naughton Cider. Peter tells Rosalind all about cider's history, the process for making his cider (mostly by hand) and how champagne plays a huge part in this process. They also chat about his other business Sips Champagne - inspired by his student days working in Oddbins.

episode 118 premieres this morning with all the fanfare you'd associate with a a carefully crafted non-apology / apology composed by the crisis management team of Muffy and Missy McGlugglug  -  offspring of the late music industry public relations legend Drinky McGlugglug killed in 2009 during a hostage situation at OddBins (after 2 hours in captivity, Drinky heroically sought to mediate the dispute, only to be later mauled to death by a bomb-sniffing dog who'd mistaken him for a urine-soaked grenade).  Alright, maybe that's more fanfare than I'd initially planned, but I'm fairly confident this week's show more than justifies the effort, if not the expense. 

Having studied what was important to wine consumers working at Oddbins, a British wine retailer, Nicholas Hammeken, Founder and Director of Innovation at Hammeken Cellars, founded a company focused on crafting Spanish wines that match consumer preferences. He develops concepts with unique selling propositions, plays to modern tastes, and tries to be an ambassador of affordable luxury. Nicholas tells us all about how he thinks through creating the concept, developing the product, and bringing the wines to market globally.  If you love the show, please consider supporting us on Patreon.Detailed Show Notes: Nicholas' backgroundDanish-born, cellar master, worked at Taste of Wine in DenmarkWorked in the Mosel (Germany), Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Penedes (Cava, Spain)Worked at Oddbins in the UK - where he learned about consumer preferencesFell in love w/ Spain and moved there when his wife got a job thereHammeken Cellar OverviewSpanish wine in the 1990's - a little rustic, but could taste the tremendous potentialMotto - “modern Spanish wines…developed through an understanding of consumers needs” -> want to respect the history of the region, but take data to match to consumer preferencesBased in ValenciaWinemakers live in different parts of SpainExports 1.5M cases to 30 countriesHistorically strong in ScandinaviaGermany and Holland are big markets, US and Canada are important, while  Asia has been consistent with Japan being strong for many yearsChina rising as wine consumption growing (vs. gifting of wine)In 2021 - 50% of production are organic wines, sustainability is an important trend for HammekenConsumer preferences by marketEurope - like a more lean styleUS - prefers riper, more bold styleOften the style preferences match with the profile of local cuisineWines have a base element and then have components to fine-tune the wines for specific marketsOrganic trendN Europe was the driving force, particularly the monopoly markets, which gave distribution preference for organic winesUS/Europe now more aligned with regulations on organic winesWhole Foods was a pioneer in the USBrand development processE.g., “I'm Your Organic” brandHad nice juice to make an approachable wine made the tannins softer to create a very juicy style of wineCould make it cost $10-12Need to communicate a message to consumers to create a competitive edge -> every bottle (or bag in a box) sold, they will plant a treeLeverages Global Datato mine macro and micro consumer trends (e.g., organic product trend)Used to support decision makingDoes other consumer research - “lots of reading” - real all magazines, including grocery store magazinesImportance of the story -> need to have a purpose of the product, more USPs (unique selling propositions) -> e.g., where does the product come from (i.e., sense of place, which gives traceability), winemaker, etc. -> something apart from a pretty labelWants to be an ambassador of affordable luxury, $9.99 or $11.99 wines that taste and feel like $14.99 winesPackaging - requires a lot of trial and error to testThe more exclusive products tend to look more straightforward and more elegantScale buying power allows for lower costs for high-end closures, packagingE.g. - Mirada Rose from La ManchaDefined specific fruit flavors - berry citrusWant a “Provence” like colorUses extended time on leesIt has a unique bottleUses repeat buying to measure success - Mirada is seeing steady increases year over year in salesWines mostly have a DO/DOC designation - they need to taste like the region, but in a modern wayFinding new names - “a major headache” - legal names for the US, Europe, and Asia has become a lot more complex than ten years agoCreating the wineThe company is asset-light, leverage other people's facilitiesGo for a more modern, fresh style of wineOnce they have a clear idea of what they want to do, they search for vineyardsTry to source from a diverse set of vineyards to reduce nature risk (e.g., hail)Old vines are key -> gives a more unique expression, more balanced fruitHave their own winemakers, but rent facilitiesVineyard sourcing a mix of long-term rentals, short term agreements, and spot market purchases at harvestHave a contract agronomist to direct grape growingGo-to-market (“GTM”) StrategyLink up with partners, people who want to be first movers on the productOften have a dialogue in place before developing new conceptsTarget marketsFor new concepts - test in smaller marketsFor clear ideas - go for 3-5 markets to have volume from the beginningKeys for product placementsMonopoly markets - can lobby for 2-3 years to provoke a tender that you've helped define (therefore more likely to wine)3rd party endorsement is important (e.g., critic ratings)Critic ratings big in US / Canada initially, but rest of the world has followed -> important because some buyers are risk-averseAsia - likes to see success in other markets firstMarketing & PromotionSocial media is importantNeed to invest for products on the shelvesMore important channels - product placement (the right place at the right price point), then a mix of endorsement with points and price proposition (e.g., discounts) can drive more significant salesE.g., LCBO (largest buyer in the world) - showed them a gap in their portfolio (mix of packaging, style, and price point) and was willing to invest in promotions to be successfulWine critic influenceAmerican media (e.g., Wine Enthusiast, Robert Parker, Wine Spectator, James Suckling) strong in US / Canada, but also have a global influenceDecanter - more important outside the USJancis Robinson - w/ 20 point score, need $25+ bottles for consumers to understand what this meansBrand lifecycleMost brands are regional stars, a few work worldwideLifecycle is usually 3-5 yearsProduct segments get overcrowded and make the brand lose market shareSignal of downtrend - when the effectiveness of promotion fallsCorporate Social ResponsibilityTry to allow consumers to make an active choice, e.g., I'm Your Organic and planting a treeUses Goodwings to offset the carbon footprint of corporate travelWants to do a detailed mapping of CO2 footprint of product production and use this as a tool to educate wine buyers

Something a bit different to kick off Season 3...our first ever EXPLICIT episode! It's not what you're thinking. Just a few gentle sweary words. Because this one is all about Fake Booze: a bitter, twisted, dark and damp website stuffed full of satire lampooning the world of wine and drinks, whose strapline is, 'Like truth, but better'. It's the brainchild of hitherto respectable drinks journalist Chris Losh and it's painfully funny, so we wanted to get Chris on the show to bring us bang up to date with the very latest headlines, breaking news and absurd sideswipes at the world of booze. And to have a bit of a laugh. The episode features everything from James Bond to human sacrifice via hobbits, Ginfandel, dinosaurs, hungover graduates and Sea-vignon Blanc. We definitely come in for a bit of a pasting too. On top of all that, we manage to be serious for a moment and recommend a FANTASTIC value Sicilian red. Enjoy the show! PS: If you like what you hear, please do consider leaving us a positive rating and review, we'd love to hear from you and we really appreciate your time in doing so. You can also find us on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Show notes, including a transcript, are on our website. Cheers! And please do check out Fake Booze - it's quite brilliant.

Emma Rice's passion for wine started, aged 19, with a taste of Krug 1979 from a double magnum, whilst working part-time at The White Horse Inn, Chilgrove. From there, her career has taken her from Oddbins to Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book, to Napa Valley – completing her degree in viticulture and oenology at Plumpton College along the way. After travelling to California and later Tasmania, Australia, Emma returned to the UK to set-up Custom Crush UK Ltd – a wine analysis laboratory and consultancy - through which she met owner and chairman of Hattingley Valley Wines, Simon Robinson, just as he had planted his vines. Today, Emma's role as Head Winemaker at Hattingley Valley is varied – she oversees the development of the vineyards, including producing Hattingley's signature wines, manages the growing winemaking team and, as a director of Hattingley Valley, is involved in running the business at board level.

Sarah Ahmed left a career in law to pursue a passion for wine, particularly for investigating and reading clues in wine, hence the alias The Wine Detective. After working for many years with wine retailer Oddbins, she became an independent wine communicator and educator, and since 2005 has contributed to some of the worlds foremost publications and reference books, particularly in her renowned fields of Australian and Portuguese wines.

David LeMire started his career in wine similar to how I did; working in a wine shop while studying at university. He gained experience working for Oddbins in the UK, and whilst there he was introduced to the Master of Wine via his studies of the WSET. Upon returning to Australia, he spent ten years working for Negociants in sales and exports, and during this period became a Master of Wine. Since 2010 he was worked with Australia's first MW (Michael Hill-Smith) at Shaw + Smith in the Adelaide Hills. He also has been involved with his own wine project La Linea, and the wine bar Mothervine in Adelaide.
