For our final episode of 2022, I chat to one of my team members and Head of Wine at THE PIG Hotels, Luke Harbor. Luke tells us what it’s like being a sommelier, the boom of British wine, what bottles to open over Christmas, mulled wine recipes and so much more. If you’re looking forward to a tipple or two over the holidays and want to delve into the wine landscape here in the UK, then this is one for you.
