Inside Norway's Fine Wine Market: In Conversation with Arnt Egil Nordlien
Épisode 85
jeudi 18 juillet 2024 • Durée 24:03
How is the secondary market organized in Norway? And why are Fine Wines so much cheaper there? And how long do people have to queue to buy a bottle of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti?
In this episode, host Pauline Vicard sits down with Arnt Egil Nordlien, Product Manager of Fine Wine & Auctions at Vinmonopolet in Norway. Together they discuss the in’s and out’s of a very unique distribution system. How does Arnt choose what to buy at En Primeur week each year, and how are the wines imported? How does the Vinmonopolet system work? How are Fine Wines sold and what is the margin system?
Tune in to learn more and of course do not forget to head over to the Inside La Place de Bordeaux series, where Pauline initially sought out Arnt to delve into the fascinating world of La Place de Bordeaux, a wine system shrouded in mystery, even to many people who work in fine wine.
Vinmonopolet is Norway’s state control alcohol distribution platform, and Arnt Egil Nordlien personally selects Fine Wines to be distributed to 12 locations throughout Norway. If you want to learn more about Vinmonopolet in Norway, just head to their site. There you will be able to learn about what wines they sell, their mission and sustainability report and more.

ILPB- Ep7: The Future of La Place de Bordeaux
Épisode 84
mardi 2 juillet 2024 • Durée 54:38
It started in Bordeaux but has since become a major force in global fine wine. What’s next for La Place de Bordeaux?
In this final episode of Inside La Place de Bordeaux, hosts Felicity Carter and Pauline Vicard consider where La Place came from — and where it’s going. They talk to some of the world’s most insightful experts, and look into their own crystal balls, to predict what’s likely to happen next.
· Can En Primeur stay in its current form, or will it transform into something else?
· Will the market polarise further between the producers at the top and everybody else?
· As climate change and better viticulture drive ever more excellent vintages, how will that transform the fine wine economy?
· How will La Place upend the world of wine investment?
For everyone involved in the fine wine trade, this is an episode not to be missed.
With: Mathieu Chadronnier, Max Lalondrelle, Elin McCoy, Jane Anson.

Can You Scale Up Fine Wine? In Conversation with Vianney Gravereaux, Ivan Massonnat, Dan Petroski & Joao Silva
Épisode 68
jeudi 14 décembre 2023 • Durée 01:03:40
Welcome to the Areni Global podcast. Today’s episode is part of our Insight Series, and it is called, “Can You Scale Up Fine Wine? In Conversation with Vianney Gravereaux, Ivan Massonnat, Dan Petroski & Joao Silva”. This discussion tackles how to drive profitability and achieve financial sustainability within the realm of fine wine. Let’s talk about the problems and reasons behind the necessity to scale up in the fine wine industry, and secondly, determine the ideal scale for fine wine production while addressing the challenges, obstacles, and steps to reach that optimal size. Fine wine has always relied on rarity and scarcity to establish its appeal. Fine wine thrives on the idea (real or perceived) of small scale, artisanal, never-changing production. But are these models still viable in today’s economy?
After starting his career at Arthur Andersen, Vianney Gravereaux has gained a vast international experience in fine wine while working for globally renowned estates such as Champagne Philipponnat and Champagne Salon. He studied Economics, English, Political Philosophy and Geopolitics, is French by birth and multilingual by vocation.
Ivan’s wine lover journey was built on his passion for Burgundy wines, capable of expressing an infinite variety of expressions from a single grape variety. By rooting his family in Chinon in 2006, Ivan discovered the great terroirs of the Loire Valley and started to dream of changing his life to become a vigneron. After years of looking for “diamonds in the rough”, Ivan fell in love with Anjou in 2018, the historical home of Chenin Blanc.

The Responsibilities Series Episode Two: Wine & Health
Épisode 65
jeudi 9 novembre 2023 • Durée 52:31
Welcome the second episode of The Responsibilities Series, where we explore the specific responsibilities of those who work in fine wine, an Areni Global podcast brought to you in association with Moët Hennessy and their programme Living Soils, Living Together.
Today we are talking about one of the most serious issues facing wine, which is the question of wine and health, and the growing movement challenging even the moderate consumption of wine and alcohol. Could wine lose its social license to operate? That once unthinkable possibility now seems to be a real threat, as the health lobby declares that there is no safe level of alcohol.
In late October, a Congress on wine and health — the Lifestyle, Diet, Wine & Health Congress — was held in Toledo, Spain. It brought together a number of prominent doctors, scientists and other researchers, to look at what the evidence says about the impact of wine on health. Areni’s Editorial Director Felicity Carter was there, and in this special podcast, she explains what was discussed. The Congress was organized by two European bodies, the Wine Information Council, and one called Foundation for Wine and Nutrition Research (FIVIN) The organizers brought together some of the world’s major researchers in wine and they discussed its impact on health. Within the conversation, you will also hear clips from scientific authorities on the topic.
