Summary

For the Sunday Debate this week, a dip back into the archive to 2019 when we partnered with Waitrose to invite three of the UK’s top wine experts to settle a rivalry for the ages: the so-called Old World vs New World. Which region makes the best wine? Representing the Old World – wine producers such as France, Italy, Spain and Germany – was the award-winning writer and broadcaster Jancis Robinson, wine columnist for the Financial Times and a qualified Master of Wine. Fighting for the modernising spirit of the New World – that’s regions such as California, Australia, South Africa and Chile – was Oz Clarke, presenter, author and a winner of British Wine Taster of the Year. Our host for the debate was Amelia Singer, wine writer, broadcaster and founder of Amelia’s Wine. ... Did you know that Intelligence Squared offers way more than podcasts?
