Friends. Guests. Music. A wine per person, one song each, and a battle over who has the best vino. It's Corkbusters baby! The Corkbusters team met back in 2010 as colleagues with a massive interest in wine. The sweet sound of clinking bottles would oft be heard in the office, and many a vino fuelled session was enjoyed. Fast forward to 2020 and the crew are all living in Tai Hang, Hong Kong. Inspired on a night out by one wine too many, they resolved to start their own podcast about vino, and Corkbusters was born. The concept is simple, we tackle a different wine theme per episode, everyone brings a bottle and chooses a song based around the wine or the theme, with one guest per week joining the mayhem. They drink, they assess, they party, and a winner emerges. The only thing left to do is for you to grab a wine, immerse yourself and join the fun.https://corkbusters.captivate.fmyesepisodicEpisode 5 - A Wine That EducatesEpisode 5 - A Wine That EducatesCorkbusters meet with our first industry professional on a podcast fittingly called...
