War Doesn’t Stop Wine-Making: Crimean Harvests, the Future, and AI?!

War and Wine…not a sweet combination, but one that you’ll find now in Sevastopol.🍷 But even the war doesn’t stop the wine-making progress, as around 50 wine-makers join together for the Sevastopol wine festival. I got the unique chance to go speak (and drink) with them myself, and try a glass of wine…or a few, actually. 😅 They told me about their stories, harvests, struggles, and triumphs. Five years ago, there was barely anyone there. Yet now, despite all, the wine business in Crimea is booming! And I can definitely taste why. 🍇Watch as I get to know what’s the key ingredient to the best wine, how long it takes to sell your first bottle, how have sanctions affected them, and will they continue their business? Get a sip of all this and more…I mean, wine-not?! 🍷 Stay up to date on our adventures, don’t forget to like 👍 & subscribe! 🔔 📸 — for more content and behind the scenes of living in Russia 00:00 - welcome to the Sevastopol wine festival 🍷 02:37 - that’s the main ingredient in wine? 🤷‍♀️ 03:33 - a sailors son turned wine-maker ⚓️ 05:00 - meet the big boss 👑 05:30 - war doesn’t stop the harvest! 🍇 06:20 - wine from A.I?! 😱 08:00 - wine for the girls 💅🌹 08:40 - how do sanctions affect Russian wine? 💀 09:30 - the difference is HUGE! 😱 10:12 - why are all the young people making wine in Crimea? 11:00 - want to be a wine-maker?
