Brand new from MW husband and wife duo Susie and Peter is Wine Blast, a “fast-moving show” in which the pair “bring wine to life (with a smile) via interviews, provocative chat, travel, food, gentle bickering, tips, competitive wine-offs, a quirky wine A-Z and your questions.”

Certain to be a hit, this podcast takes a magazine-style format and is jubilantly buoyant and upbeat. Don’t expect to be too bogged down in wine speak or theory, but revel in it’s relatable, entertaining and light-hearted tone, with marital disputes over wine a given.
