In this episode, we draw a recap from our trip to Verona’s popular wine trade fair Vinitaly. Tune in to get the general pulse of the industry and why Italy is running behind when it comes to non alcoholic beverages. Is it due to Italy’s traditional wine perception, the unlucky taxation regulations, or maybe both? 

Additionally, we tasted a lot to give you first hand insights and to show you why the best Italian alcohol-free wines currently come from Germany.
