Who am I, what drives me and what can you expect from this podcast? I briefly explain what has led me to the conscious drinking path, what my background in wine is and what we'll discover over the upcoming episodes together.

In this episode, I am speaking about my experiences with alcohol and dating. Why sober aka dry dating might be a way to deeper, more fulfilling and real relationships. You'll learn what happens in your body when drinking while meeting someone and I'll give you some tips for dates without the booze in summer. On another note, the first ever no alcohol beergarden opened up in Munich - check it out!

Incomplete episode without my lovely co-host Bella. We both were travelling and working too much to find one single moment to record together. Next week she’ll be back and I hope I managed to replace her as good as possible. The alc-free world wasn’t that busy but brought some real bangers with it.
