Drinks Adventures - Wine, beer, whisky, gin & more with James Atkinson
Episode • Dec 8, 2019 • 23m
A podcast for lovers of wine, beer, liquor (incl. whisky, whiskey, bourbon, gin, vodka, tequila etc) and cocktails, Drinks Adventures hosts wine makers, brewing and distilling experts, sommeliers, bartenders & more.
Based in Adelaide Hills, SA, Laura and husband Brendan Carter have long championed sustainable practices across their business, such as actively selecting grape varieties that best suit the Australian climate in order to minimise water use.
In August 2019 – just like Stone & Wood Brewing Company, who we featured in that documentary back in season two – their wine company Unico was recognised more broadly for its social and environmental performance, becoming the first Australian distiller to be certified as a B Corporation.
I started this interview by asking Laura how Team Unico got inspired to follow this particular path of wines and spirits production.
