The BZ gives three tips for Berlin wine connoisseurs and those who want to become one.
Wild on wine by Marie-Anne Wild
“Wild auf Wein” wants to impart wine knowledge for beginners via Instagram videos! Marie-Anne Wild (46) is a sommelier and manager of the two-star restaurant “Tim Raue” in Kreuzberg. She has received many awards for her knowledge of wine.

In her podcast “Up to a glass of champagne with Marie-Anne” she introduces exciting women from the gastronomy industry, and in her new Instagram format starting Friday, her followers can learn everything about wine in compact one- to two-minute videos.
How do you decant a red wine? Or: Are white wines also decanted? What is the chimney effect? How do I recognize a good wine in the supermarket?
Perfect concept for beginners in “Find Your Wine Match”
Experience wine in a different way – completely relaxed and without know-it-all attitudes! In “Find Your Wine Match” the wines are divided into ten different styles.
Can it be crisp and citrusy? Do you like it more aromatic and flowery? Or light and juicy? If you like, you can order online or buy directly from the store at Sredzkistraße 36 in Prenzlauer Berg.

Many events also take place there, such as “Wine Friday”, where a DJ plays and eight wines are tasted (6.30 p.m., 10 euros, in English). Please reserve events: www.findyourwinematch.com.
“Terroir & Adilette” – the most successful wine podcast
One is a top sommelier, the other a rapper and has no idea about wine: the result is a funny podcast with Willi Schlögl and singer and songwriter Curly.
They talk to guests every week – not just from the wine world. How does one become a sommelier or sommelier? What’s happening in California’s vines right now? And what is a “Master of Wine”?

With a lot of humor and a drop of madness, Austrians Willi and Berlin native Curly (careful, southern German dialect!) explain facts for beginners and advanced learners in “Terroir & Adiletten”. On all platforms with podcasts, e.g. Spotify.
