Welcome to Part One of our two-part podcast special on New Zealand wines. Listen to learn about Kate's love of Lord of the Rings and why New Zealanders are called Kiwis. (Hint: it's not the fruit.) 

WINESUP: CARO: Üllo wine filters & Lidl’s hangover-free Prosecco. Do you believe the hype? ANGELA: Champagne on ice. It has a bit more sugar and a lot more cold. Would you sip it?  

KATE: Our hearts are breaking for the winemakers in California who are rebuilding after the devastating fires that swept through Napa and Sonoma. If you would like to help, you can do so here.
