Wine expert Libby Brodie launches new wine YouTube channel
Everyone can enjoy a good glass of wine, from the simple pleasure of a zesty sauvignon blanc in Summer, to a hearty red to accompany a beautifully cooked steak. But the intricacies can often put the casual wine lover off of delving in too far. Why is this glass better than that?
What difference does it make where the wine is from? And how are you supposed to tell which wine has a ‘blackcurrant nose’? Fortunately, wine expert, consultant, and columnist, Libby Brodie, is out to make esoteric wine knowledge delightfully simple.

It’s not just practical education that Libby is demystifying. Libby Brodie Wine also celebrates the storied history of wine and all in bite sized chunks that won’t eat up hours of your day.
Libby encourages her community to get involved in the comments of her videos, taking questions and suggestions for future videos. So if you’ve got a wine question for one of the industry’s leading voices, now’s your chance to ask.
“As a wine communicator, I believe it’s important to work across multiple platforms,” says Libby about her reasons for deciding to launch the channel. “Different people prefer reading an article, listening to a podcast or watching a reel or video online. My job is to ‘translate’ the often-confusing world of wine and deliver it in an accessible, engaging and entertaining way.”
“Ultimately wine is grown by farmers and made by passionate winemakers, over many years, for other people’s pleasure. It is created to be enjoyed and be enjoyable – not to be seen as stuffy or snobby as it may have been in the past.”
Do yourself a favour and head over to the channel now, to begin enjoying a more fun and informed relationship with your favourite wines.
