Summary
When we drink wine, we tend to focus on how it tastes, rather than what the wine is doing to our ‘tasting gear’ (mouth, teeth, tongue, gums, throat, saliva…even oral microbiome).
Truth is, wine does have a pretty big impact on all that stuff – and, just as importantly, all that stuff can influence the way we taste wine too.
Step forward Dr Ron Georgiou MW: dentist by day, Master of Wine by night.
Like almost no one else, he can tell us what effect wine has on our mouths and teeth – and also, how we can keep our personal tasting apparatus in pristine condition so we can taste wine to the absolute max.
This is an eye-opening episode that every wine lover needs to hear.
Wine can damage our mouths – but there are ways to mitigate or prevent the dangers.
Plus, the top tips in this programme can help you become a better taster.
We also share our approach – including how we’ll be changing in the light of this episode. (We did say this podcast would change your life…)
