''Sharing a bottle means sharing a conversation - and isn’t that how you build community?''

Bravo for this!!!

I have to note this in mind, about Gen Z and their preferences...hope your ''natural'' products will have totally opposite understanding than commercial ones, in their minds.

Beautiful, Simon (and Jan). Wine as "the starting point for community" resonates. It takes each of us opening that first bottle and inviting others in. On my agenda now. Thank you.

Ok I love this, and sounds much better than the techno and EDM we get at wine fairs in Rome.

Ha! Well, I have absolutely nothing against techno/EDM, but yes this was special.

Maybe you have to be in an actual web browser on a laptop? Click those three little dots to the RH side of your comment.

Correct, on my laptop it is no problem. Thankyou. May I enquire as to why you chose Slovenia for your Writing Getaway?

It's a beautiful country that I know well and love. Lots of inspiring scenery, food and wine. Friendly people. Reasonably accessible from a number of different central European locations.
