In this bonus episode, we’ll explore the meaning of grapes from a seasonal perspective. During the holidays, grapes play an important role – both in liquid and solid form.

We talk to a winemaker who is working on non-alcoholic wine. His goal is to approach the same quality and taste levels of the alcoholic counterparts. Our second guest is a BASF Agricultural Solutions employees from Philippines. Grapes (and other fruit) have a high relevance in the local cuisine – and are part of a new year tradition.

We wish you a restful holiday season and a happy new year. Subscribe to “The Science behind your Salad” wherever you get your podcasts, so you don’t miss an episode – you'll hear from us again in 2023 with lots of more exciting stories (stay tuned for further insights around grapes coming soon!)
