unWined Manifesto

Wine is a wonderful drink which like groundwater “springs” in various places around the world. Seemingly it should be the same blend of grape-derived flavours and alcohol and yet it definitely reveals a very different side in each of those “springs”. In some places it is comfortably familiar, in others can be striking and surprising. Wine drinking is one of the greatest pleasures in life and undoubtedly a sure way to unwind (or unWined). Well, it definitely is for the author of this blog! Our mission here is quite simple – make wine accessible. I want to contradict the usual stuffed aura surrounding wine; that’s it’s an elitist drink and you need lots of knowledge to enjoy it in its full form and variety. I believe that anybody can find enjoyment in wine, it’s just a matter of some fun experimentation to find the right fit for you. And there’s plenty to choose from, no matter your taste or the size of your wallet! In this blog, you’re going to find accounts from various trips to unWined, always focused on this most extraordinary beverage. I encourage you to join me on this journey of discovery to taste from a myriad of wine springs around the world. To meet winemakers and find out about the places that shaped them. Shall we begin?

It’s been a bit quiet here for a while, but I’m back with some news from France—more specifically, from the Bordeaux region. Bordeaux is typically associated with grand châteaux with centuries-old heritage....

Testament Winery - Dalmatia, Croatia
The life stories of winemakers I usually visit tend to be quite similar. Either it’s a couple just starting their journey with winemaking, or it’s the next generation of a family with winemaking tradition....

Pit Stop for Wine? Yes, Please! - Mulec Winery, Slovenia
While travelling across Europe, we usually stop at B&B or Accor hotels or in some random inns when we feel tired. But lately, I’ve been wondering whether it might be possible to plan our route...

Kazimierskie Wzgórza Winery - Kazimierz Dolny, Poland
We set out from Warsaw. Motorway, fields and forests flashed outside the windows and then we reached a single-lane road. About an hour and a half later, we found ourselves in a completely different landscape....
