Is the Future of Fine Wine Plant-Based? In Conversation with Mike Barrow, Watson Brown, Sebastiano Castiglioni and Christophe Lavelle

According to Bloomberg, the plant-based foods industry is expected to exceed $162 billion, or 7% of the global food market, within the next decade. In its latest report UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s estimated that 25% of its customers will be vegan by 2025.
