Noble Rot Issue 37 (English edition): Our Wine Culture is in Better Shape Than Ever

The Noble Rot Issue 37 celebrates a wine culture more dynamic than ever! While some claim that young people are drinking less wine, this issue proves the contrary: craft wine is captivating a new generation, and wine bars are flourishing worldwide, from Melbourne to Manchester. Jon Bonné deciphers this exciting transformation and shows why our love for wine is more alive than ever.
