In this episode, Christine and Daisy take us on a whirlwind tour of Spain’s most iconic (and delightfully over-the-top) wine traditions. From daring high pours to full-on wine fights, we’re diving into the porron, the Txakoli high pour, La Venencia and of course - sabering cava! Plus, a look at Spain’s wildest wine festival, La Batalla del Vino, and the refined Copa Jerez pairing competition. It’s a fresh look at how culture, craft, and celebration come together in the glass.
We’re the official podcast for Guildford Green Wine!
