Catching up with China – In Conversation with Simon Tam

4/25/2024
What does the global wine world need to understand about modern China and what will China’s role be in the future of fine wine? About Simon Tam: Simon Tam grew up in Australia. He worked in his parents' restaurant which is how he first came into contact with fine wines. After studying at a wine college, Tam worked as a wine consultant for the South Australian government and he even worked as a winemaker for a few years. He eventually moved to Hong Kong, where he opened the first wine school in the early 1990s. As the Chinese market grew, Simon became a bridge between the two worlds, working with winegrowers’ associations around the globe to promote the sale of wines in China. Simon Tam would eventually be appointed head of the wine department at Christie's, initially for China and then for the entire Asian region. Ten years later, Simon founded his own fine wine auction house, AEOS Auctions, and a year ago, he also launched a new project: Flavour Colours - a comprehensive wine and food pairing tool.

Can You Scale Up Fine Wine? In Conversation with Vianney Gravereaux, Ivan Massonnat, Dan Petroski & Joao Silva

12/14/2023
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.

How To Be Extraordinary: In Conversation with Dr. Kiko Thiel

12/7/2023
Welcome to the Areni Global podcast. Today’s episode is entitled “How To Be Extraordinary”. Host Pauline Vicard speaks with Dr. Kiko Thiel to discuss her search on the extraordinary and what makes people do extraordinary things. Her research distinguishes between excellence and the extraordinary, and between incremental innovation vs. the outer reaches of radical innovation - paradigm creation. Dr. Thiel focuses in particular on the mindsets and behaviors that enable the creation of the extraordinary, the creation of new paradigms and outliers that challenge our notion of reality, or our notion of what's possible. But how can this notion of excellence vs. the extraordinary be applied to the world of Fine Wine? To find out, tune in! More about today’s guest Dr. Kiko Thiel: Kiko Thiel researches, writes and speaks about the difference between excellence and the extraordinary, and the journey individuals undergo when they depart from the status quo to create a new paradigm. She brings to her academic research over 25 years of experience consulting to major corporations in Europe, Japan, Africa, and the Middle East, spanning insurance, mining, oil and gas, high tech, and the fashion and cosmetics industries. She specialised in leadership and organizational change at McKinsey and Accenture, and in Blue Ocean Strategy innovation with Insead professors Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne. Kiko has a PhD in Organizational Behavior from Case Western Reserve University, an MBA from Insead, BA History from Yale, speaks English, Japanese, and French, and has lived half of her life in Europe, and the other half in Japan and the US.

The Responsibilities Series Episode Two: Wine & Health

11/9/2023
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. (Dr. Curtis Ellison, Dr. Justus Apffelstaedt and Prof. dr. sc. Mladan Bobab) More about today’s host: Born and raised into a winemaking family in Burgundy, Pauline Vicard grew up working in the vineyard.

Education is integral to the preservation and dissemination of fine wine. Host Pauline Vicard and Gendler explore the idea of education that transcends time and culture, defining education in a way that applies to ancient times, modern industrialized societies, and even pre-industrial, pre-technological societies. While the process and methods of education may change across these contexts due to differences in subject matter, social constraints, and evolving techniques, the fundamental "why" of education, which likely involves knowledge transfer and skill development, remains a consistent underlying principle.

Scully Professor of Philosophy, and Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science.

In 2009-10, supported by the Mellon Foundation’s New Directions program, she spent a year as a full-time student at Yale doing coursework in psychology, neuroscience, and statistics. In 2010, she was appointed Chair of the Yale philosophy department, becoming the first woman chair in the department’s two-century history. In 2013, she was appointed Deputy Provost for Humanities and Initiatives, a position she held until she assumed her current role in 2014. Tamar Gendler is an academic known for her interdisciplinary approach, blending traditional philosophy with insights from psychology and social sciences. Her research explores topics like the connection between imagination and belief, rational versus non-rational persuasion, and the impact of habits on behavior and judgment.

Mellon Foundation and the National Science Foundation, and she has been actively involved in various boards and committees related to science, education, and humanities.

Soil Health - The Responsibilities Series

6/1/2023
Welcome to episode 1 of our new show, The Responsibilities Series, where we explore the specific responsibilities of those who work with fine wine. We believe that fine wine can no longer be defined solely by its taste or its complexity, but also by its leadership, values and ethos. And if fine wine sits at the top of the pyramid, we need to reflect on the individual and collective responsibilities of sitting at the top. This very special series has been possible thanks to the support of Moët Hennessy and their program Living Soils, Living Together. Today’s episode is called “Soil Health” and delves into the new soil mandate that is being drafted for June 7th and the issues around soil health in Europe as well as some of the solutions being proposed to mitigate and even reverse the damage to this precious and finite resource. The hosts of this podcast are Pauline Vicard, CEO, and Felicity Carter, Editorial Director. You will hear experts such as Virginijus Sinkevicius, the European Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Faustine Bas-Defossez, the Director for Nature, Health and Environment at the European Environmental Bureau, and Sandrine Sommer, the Head of Sustainability for Moet Hennessy express their thoughts and warnings, as well as put forward new initiatives in their efforts to help the current state of affairs when it comes to our soil’s health.
