For Episode 77 of Read Between the Wines, we sit down with Nicola Bates, CEO of Wine GB, to explore the exciting momentum behind English and Welsh wines. From climate adaptation to international acclaim, the British wine scene is transforming at remarkable speed—and Nicola is at the forefront of it all. We discuss Wine GB’s bold new three-year strategy, the importance of sustainability through the SWGB certification, and how the organisation is championing diversity, education, and tourism across the sector.

Nicola shares her personal connection to wine, her favourite grape varieties, and the ambitious initiatives aimed at supporting both new and established producers. Whether you’re a winemaker, a wine lover, or simply curious about why Britain is fast becoming one of the world’s most dynamic wine regions, this conversation is essential listening. Grab a glass, settle in—and get ready to be inspired by the future of wine, British-style.
