Nice one again! I like the idea of finding good cheap local wines. I'm always looking into brazilian and south american wines ( I live in brazil ), we don't have a great variety of grapes, but we do have very well made wines.
As a wine professional I deeply love wine and I deeply love Italy, I have been to Italy maybe 15 times. This video however is a list of unsubstantiated claims built on a romanticization of all things Italian, there is no data, research or anything concrete to inform the conclusions made here. Average wages vs cost of wine, wine consumption in Italy, wine production in Italy, social science articles etc etc are all lacking. The only fact in this video is that the host dislikes the American wine industry. As a European I also don't find wine culture in the US to be as toxic as the host claims though thats probably dependant on the location. In general I tend to find Americans quite hospitable and they produce some very good wines for reasonable prices especially Ny, Washington and Oregon but also some in Cali. Chardonnay, Rhone varietals, Pinot and even some Cab can be found for very good price/quality imo and I say this as somebody who generally prefers old world styles. High markups in restaurants and upsell culture is undeniable though, but there are more reasons for that than "America sucks" and the wine industry is not necessarily to blame for restaurant business models
Love your content delivery and format. Your style is what’s missing in the wine world. As someone involved in the industry, we appreciate your work.

Agreed about your wines 😁 Keep on searching and let me know which gems you find!
Another informative captivating vid Ashwin, I look forward to your next one.
This was another fun one to work on!
Great work! 🎉
I am enjoying your videos. I did find that wine was very regional in Italy, and it allows you to get to know a region.
Thank you! We agree, there's a lot of amazing variety!
