Do Wine Pros Actually Learn What the Wine Industry Needs? (With Pauline Vicard)
Episode 4
Wednesday, 29 October, 2025
In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Pauline Vicard, CEO and Co-Founder of ARENI Global, to explore the future of wine education and the skills the industry truly needs. We talk about what inspired Pauline to write a white paper on wine education, the balance between knowledge and practical skills, and why some areas of the wine world struggle to adapt. Pauline also shares her thoughts on how curriculums could evolve, what skills will matter most in the coming years, and whether professionals are giving consumers the information they actually want.Be sure to check out the great work Pauline Vicard and @areniglobal868 are doing by visiting their website https://areni.global.
