What does 2025 have in store for the fine wine world? How are key players planning for this new year and where will they invest their time, and money? Felicity and Pauline caught up with six major wine personalities, to ask them what they see ahead in 2025. Here is what they discussed: · China: The impact of the country's slow recovery and how the wine market has drastically changed in five years (with some very positive trends, we promise!) · Global: The geopolitical turmoil and taxes and tariffs, both in the USA and in the UK, and how companies are adapting · Consumption: The rapid decline of wine consumption — notably away from home — in major Western markets and the impact on the fine wine trade. Our experts also discuss the different steps they are taking to overcome these challenges. · Markets: How major players are investing in Brazil, South East Asia and new African markets, and what it takes to be successful in these fast-growing markets. · Styles: The “Burgundification” of fine wine and what it means for the fine wine market generally.

Cricket legend Ricky Ponting's new wine venture was understandably met with some scepticism when it was first announced.I'll admit that my initial reaction was, 'not another celebrity wine brand'. But I subsequently learnt that there was much more to Ponting Wines than one of those, shall we say cynical agreements where a famous person licenses their name and image in exchange for royalties on the resulting sales.On his retirement from test cricket in 2012, Ricky was gifted 41 bottles of Penfolds Grange by Cricket Australia – one for every test century he scored in his remarkable career.This certainly helped crystallise an interest in wine that Ricky and his wife Rhianna have since continued to explore in his retirement.Ricky and Rhianna are partners in Ponting Wines and they see it as a long-term venture that they can maybe one day pass on to their children.And they are working on this project with a very reputable winemaker. Ben Riggs has been in the winemaking game both in Australia and internationally for more than 35 years, initially at renowned McLaren Vale winery Wirra Wirra. And then later at his own company, Mr Riggs Wine Co., which he founded in 2001.Ben and the Pontings are working on the project with drinks industry veteran David Krenich, who spent 17 years in commercial and marketing roles at Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy.

Luke Tyler is the Marketing Manager at Wirra Wirra and he chats to Simon about what an amazing experience the team has created this year and why people get drawn to work at this iconic McLaren Vale winery. A must visit and a good listen too. @wirrawirrawines @mclaren_vale

Rooster Radio pulled together a beer tasting event with Swell Brewing at one of our favourite venues, the Henry Austin in Adelaide, South Australia. It was a great night tasting quality craft brews and hanging out with Rooster Radio guests and listeners. If you didn't get an invite you must not be on our mailing list .. sign up at http://roosterradio.biz so you don't miss out on the next one. Tune in to our a short and sharp live interview with Swell's founder, Dan Wright. About Dan (in his words): Travelling North and South America following the surf on a budget meant that there were a lot of very long bus rides. It was during these breaks from the swell, that I began to think about the awesome craft beer industry in the Americas. Why wasn't there anything like this in Australia? So out came the journal, and over numerous 10 hour bus rides, the idea for Swell Brewing Co. developed. As soon as I returned to Australia, I started on my brewing career. Setting up a brewery in our back shed, I worked hard at perfecting my beers. I was a favourite guest at many of my mates houses as I would bring around my brews for feedback sessions. Three years of brewing from scratch, and I felt that my recipes were where I wanted them to be. I still use the shed brewery for all of my brewing trials. I am currently working on an Amber Ale and a special release Dark Ale. In my non-brewing life, I run my own viticultural consulting business in McLaren Vale, Swell Viticulture, looking after a vineyard called Rayments Block which produces premium fruit for Penfolds and Wirra Wirra wines.

Would you believe it if I told you that in spite of being born in New Zealand and having extensive winemaking experience, Sam Connew has never had a vintage across the Tasman Sea! She has however worked in some of Australia's most famous and historic regions, including the McLaren Vale and the Hunter Valley. More recently it has been in Tasmania where she has started carving out her own identity under the Stargazer brand, and she joined me on this episode of The Vincast to talk about how her journey informed her passion for cool-climate expressions.

We chatted with Sam Temme, International Sales Manager for Wirra Wirra, at ProWein this year about the importance of a focused export strategy.
