Today’s video is fueled by Scott Base Vineyard in Cromwell, New Zealand. After all of the time I’ve spent in New Zealand, this is far and away my favorite winery.

dont cut the bun good look brother
Hey didn't all you geopolitical economics folks say that Milei's libertarian revolution was supposed to magically fix the Argentine economy and solve all that stuff? What ever happened with that?
The thing about France's supposed healthy demographics is that the people that are having children aren't exactly the types of people running and maintaining their wine production.
He talks about cuz for some reason China wont collapse
Do a beer video please – greetings from Czechia
Peter, you also got to look at the market dynamics and the demand for wine. For the past 3 decades there has been an oversupply of wine. Meaning there is consistently more produced than consumed. In Europe winemakers have been paid to uproot their vineyard for the last 20 years. Further is the demand for wine declining in established wine drinking countries such as most of Europe and the U.S. In terms of consumption the number of liters per capita has been going down. Taking all this into account I would argue there is no need for growth in the wine industry. There is need for premiumization. Selling less at a higher price would help the winemakers to finance their operations themselves and not be so dependent on capital. Unless of course new markets open up and cultures that consume beer and spirits start preferring wine such as east and south east Asia or Africa.
What about bitcoin?
Awesome info… Now do coffee.
Next time your here Pete try Cox's vineyard in the Gibston valley small family run vineyard. The owner is a good bastard and they are racking up international gold medals for there Pino.
I just looked into Trump ancestors. I could not believe. He the second generation. His grandfather was a German illegal emigrant. I could not believe whoโs against illegal emigrants now. What an IDIOT.
I'm favoured, $27K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless Sonia bless America.
Red before white? haha
Peter finally letting his hair down
South African wine smashes Kiwi wineโฆ. Much like when we play them in rugby.
Relax, much live to kiwis.
always hating on europe haha why u so afraid of us
Peter, you didn't discuss any expected changes in wine consumption in this analysis. Will there be more or less wine sipped as the world demographics changes?
There is a nigh infinite supply of wine and alcohol. Whatever sentiment humans apply to where and how it is produced is fleeting and temporary.
So, France has the only healthy demographic (ie: continued replacement) in Europe, and the economic power to subsidise not only startup, but ongoing costs. What does this say about the county's politics? And why are the anglophones still in love with doing the opposite?
I didnโt know Peterโs wife made these videos too
The more I watch this guy the more I realise heโs literally a government shill
