Why do so many people find wine so confusing? 
Is it something about wine itself, or is it because of the misconceptions that the wine trade has about wine drinkers?
Data maven Lulie Halstead and wine journalist Felicity Carter dive into the topic, looking at the consumer experience:

In supermarkets
When reading about wine on menus
In front of the wall of wine in retail
When talking to sommeliers and other wine professionals
With other people.

Is the wine trade putting up barriers to entry — or is there something else going on? Felicity and Lulie look at research from China, at international consumer data, and the questions that consumers themselves have asked, to come up with some answers.
If you’ve ever felt confused about wine, you’ll discover why. And if you’re a wine nerd, this episode might inspire you to approach customers differently.
