How has wine prescription evolved?

Santi Rivas Colectivo Decantado Wine critic Speaker

2026-02-04 11:00 2026-02-04 11:45 Europe/Madrid How has wine prescription evolved? Wine prescriptions remain crucial. Consumers seek advice and are guided by those they have chosen as their references: media outlets, guides, competitions, and critics. But recently, wine prescriptions have diversified, and in addition to traditional channels, we are discovering a new universe through social media. There is a new way of prescribing wine, with very diverse influences, both among winemakers and among consumers themselves. We will analyze how this evolution has evolved, what consumers are really looking for, and what the current prescription offers them. Auditorium
