Interview with Martin Kutscher
Martin Kutscher, Consultant for the wine industry
What makes the topic of wine special for you and where does this fascination come from?
Wine has always been a big part of my life. My father loved French red wines and passed on his passion to me.
What is your favourite European wine?
I have a number of favourite wines: some from Germany but particularly Viognier from the Rhône, Arneis from Piedmont and Albariño from Rias Baixas.
With so many European wine regions to choose from, do you have a favourite?
No, I don't have a favourite. All growing areas have something special to offer, which is what makes them so appealing.
Which wine-growing region in Europe is currently on the up?
Romania.
What role does climate and environmental protection play in the creation of wine? Has your product range changed in this respect in recent years, or is it likely to?
Organic is a growing part of our range, not least due to the increasing number of winegrowers who have converted to organic cultivation.
You are an advisory board member of EUROVINO, which will take place for the first time in 2024: Why is EUROVINO relevant as a new trade fair format?
It is a format that is specifically aimed at European producers and also offers smaller wineries the opportunity to present themselves.
