Is the consumption change, the structural shift, is it for bulk wine? Is it for high-quality wine, the expensive wines? Or is it across the board?
4:02
Yeah, look, it's, again, putting a perspective around that.
4:05
The bulk of the wine that comes out of Europe, which is a massive chunk of industry, you know, French and Italian, et cetera, is less than five euros per bottle.
4:17
So there's a lot of, I guess, what we would call sort of lower value wine that's produced around the world.
4:25
And that's the piece that's really having the issue around supply.
4:30
The sort of high-end, very good quality wines, the real premium wines, have actually seen growth still.
4:38
Because a lot of people are trading up into better quality wines.
7:58
I'm interested in what you're drinking at the moment and what your favourite is.
38:19
you you
38:21
programmed you wired to recognize that um and you know you know i think that africa generally has remarkable stories that um remain secrets you know i remember seeing those um incredible photographs i think they and um or the Congo, I think, with the people that have hyenas on leashes.
38:48
And I think a photographer named, a South African photographer, took those photographs.
38:53
And I remember, you know, when you see that, you just go, this is remarkable.
38:59
This is something that the world, you don't see that in New York or London or Asia.
39:04
It is a uniquely African thing.
39:08
And I've learned to kind of, When I see those things or I remember those things or I stumble upon those things, you know, they grab me and I go, I must do something with that one day.

Like, are there any correlations that you're seeing?
3:21
Yeah.
3:21
And so the town has been left to largely, um, to erode over time and almost be forgotten, including the race.
3:29
So I just saw this as, as the beginnings of something quite remarkable, that a little town with so ma- so much to be worried about had this wonderful, wonderful thing, this gem of an idea sitting right underneath them.
3:41
And, and so I felt, you know, intuitively with my creative teams, we, we said, you know, "If people aren't gonna go to Philipstown, what happens if we take Philipstown to the world?"

11:25
Yeah

... we could actually recreate a game, uh, so that you can go and push a wire car in a game.
11:30
It's free to download.
11:32
Um, and you can find it on Apple App Stores and Google Play.
