Pour yourself a glass and join host Fawn for a spirited deep dive into the worlds of wine and whiskey - industries often shrouded in tradition, exclusivity, and, yes, a heavy dose of male dominance.

This episode features Ruchira Neotia, an Indian-born international brand marketer turned acclaimed drinks consultant, wine and spirits judge, and founder of Ruchira's Table. She shares her journey from launching global brands to following her passion for drinks, revealing how a late-blooming obsession with wine and whiskey led her to become a leading voice in the industry.

Listeners are treated to behind-the-scenes insights: from the true cost of that supermarket bottle of wine to the craftsmanship and cultural stories behind every pour. Ruchira unpacks the barriers women face in the drinks industry-where only 14% of whiskey distilleries are led by women and female master sommeliers remain rare - and spotlights the trailblazers changing the game, from master blenders at iconic brands to all-female bars in India.

The conversation is candid, inspiring, and peppered with personal anecdotes such as “champagne therapy” sessions (sign us up!). The episode closes with a powerful message: it’s never too late to follow your passion, and true pioneers open doors for others to walk through.
