Konstantin Baum is a German Master of Wine with a well-honed sense of humour, increasingly famous for his You Tube videos that bring a bit of fun as well as knowledge to the subject. An entrepreneur, journalist, educator and taster, he’s a fascinating interviewee with interesting views on everything from influencers to the 100-point system, the value of social media to why Riesling remains such an undervalued grape.
