In this episode we take a Masterclass from Marc Malouf on wine faults. He explains the different wine faults and taints including TCA, Oxidation, Volatile Acidity (VA), Brettanomyces, Mousiness, Cooked Wine, and Reductive Wine. He also answers The Wined Up’s icebreaker questions, shares his views on Vivino versus wine critics versus winemakers, the importance of blind tasting, and so much more.

Marc has such a passion for wine and for people. His attention to detail and ability to pick out the different nuances of a wine are amazing. This skill and talent is what has drawn him respect from the wine industry as well as his genuine love for the industry. Thanks Marc for sharing your story and sharing this masterclass.
