My last year on KZbin was pretty exciting … I have tasted some pretty awesome wines, failed, and succeeded in several blind tastings and I have experimented with some new topics and formats.
Some of my videos got quite a few views and they introduced the channel to a new audience. It grew more than tenfold over the past 365 days and I am very thankful for your support.
It was my goal to get to 10k subscribers at the end of 2021 and at the beginning of last year this seemed like an impossible target but by a combination of your help and luck, we made it to 10k by the middle of the year. Many of you are recommending the channel and are sharing my videos which is cool. I am going to make sure that you get even more exciting videos for this year. It is going to be a busy year for me personally and professionally, but I have said NO to some opportunities to make sure that I can focus more on the channel and keep you entertained - so hold on to your hats or your glasses … ! As the channel has grown, I now get hundreds of comments on a video which makes it difficult to keep up with your questions. In this video, I want to answer some of your most pressing questions in detail. There were some topics that I grouped together and just picked one question representative of the category but I also put in some random, but interesting questions: The questions are from my KZbin Community feed that you see if you subscribe to my channel and from my Instagram account and I picked some questions from each account.

[@matthiaspucklitzsch449]

It would be great to do an online wine tasting with you. So we can try to experience and taste what you are tasting. This would help to understand quality better. And maybe a cooperation with Jay and Peter! Thanks and all the best for 2022

[@itsmederek1]

Starting to think Jay quit youtube by now...

[@jicklesjingles8134]

@@itsmederek1 just because he didn't upload for a few weeks 😂😂 Give Jay a rest. I'm sure he will explain

[@florianguillon1773]

It most certainly would! What a great idea👌🏻

[@Ildskalli]

Yes, absolutely! It’d be perfect if Konstantin could pick something like 10 different wines from different places in the world, to give most of us some chance of finding at least a couple and playing along.

[@LibertarianPhoenix]

He actually did a couple of tastings of wines which are available on vivino, so you can just buy those online and do the tasting as well.

[@remarkable99]

It would be great to see a video about how to stock and maintain a wine cellar. For example, say you had space for 1000 bottles: what would be some wines you must have; how many wines you you lay down for years; how to manage drinking windows; how to test whether a wine is ready to drink; whether to store some wines at drinking temperatures etc.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Great suggestion!

[@sadiem6758]

Definitely agree with this comment!

[@slimboyde]

Budget is always important. So I would like to see great wines that don't exceed 20 Euros. Yes, I like german wines, even Spätburgunder.

[@travioh]

Keep it up KB! One of the channels I watch to keep me motivated toward MW!

[@joshleedom8722]

Don't sleep on Wine Folly's videos, they've been so helpful to me during my journey! And I love your channel as well. It could be fun to see how different regions prioritize different aspects of wine-making, for instance old world vs California vs PNW vs South America vs South Africa, etc. Terroir, climate, and barrelage specifically.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

I do like her channel. Great idea!

[@TheDesertWineGuy]

Josh, I agree with you.

[@itsmederek1]

I would add that it would be interesting if he tasted the same grape variety from all those regions as he talks about the differences in terroir and winemaking.

[@wiktoriaj1734]

Very interesting video! A lot of new information to note. I wish You all the best in 2022, both here on YT and in your professional life! Also, I'm happy that my question appeared in the video! Thank you!

[@juanmanuelmunozhernandez7032]

Regarding your question at the end: All the videos I've watched on this channel are really insightful into their respective topics. However, there isn't a backbone to the channel, in the sense that we cannot know what to expect about the topic of the next video other than KZbin polls. What about introducing sections (viticulture, winemaking, geography, ampelography, tasting techniques, specific tasting notes, etc.)? That way, the viewers (and potential new subscribers) can associate it to something more specific than just the wine industry, and that added sense of identity will surely help the channel grow! Best of luck for this new year!

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Thank you. I like to mix it up and there are different playlists that are structured by topic (kinda). But I see your point. Maybe this would be more of a real wine course rather than just a YT channel.

[@ibgi1995]

Great, thanks for the videos

[@orangeshake1]

Excited to watch your 2022 videos! If there are two things I'd find interesting are a better understanding of less popular grape varietals & theirs wines, and also more about viticulture and its impact on wines!

[@robswenson9598]

I would like to see a world tour of wines in the $15-$20 /€15-€20 range from various regions of the world (Italy, France, Germany, Spain, West Coast USA, Australia, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, etc). I can see each video focusing only on 4 wines from each region. People could try to find those wines and see if they are able to smell and taste the same notes, for example. Suggested food pairings could also be included from that region to really see how the wines pop when paired with the right foods

Thank you for the great videos Kostantin. I’m just getting into learning about wine and your videos have been an invaluable resource. You’ve made me and my wife more interested in German wines (we are currently exploring different rieslings from Germany) and we hope to visit Germany one day to see with our own eyes the beautiful vineyards that produce these lovely wines. Keep up the great work!!

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Glad you like them! Stay thirsty

[@gabe7455]

very interesting information as usual; hopefully you will take a chance tasting Canadian wines from BC this year

[@bor4oborisov]

Congratulations for what you are doing, the time spent answering all this questions and making so many interesting videos. Although there are rules in wine pairing, we have another confirmation of the Latin phrase - de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum. One of my favourite combinations are dry wine-desert and off-dry wine-main dish. I think combining the salty food with sweet drink including wine is very good. That’s of course only matter of taste and probably eating habits which differs in different culture.

[@Ongeregzen]

would love to see more of the tastings with more people!

[@johnqureshi9840]

Thanks for your response to my question. Your pronunciation of my name was great thanks. I was really reassured to learn that canopy management can mitigate some of the effects of global warming and that Mosel can be more consistently good. It was the opposite of what I was thinking but it makes total sense. That’s why I’m learning so much from your channel.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Happy to help!

I liked how you addressed the topic of wine KZbin channels. I'm also trying to grow my channel by creating interesting educational wine content. I think you do a great job of this, and I really enjoy your videos.

Best of luck! Thanks for sharing your content.

[@theovertyrant2620]

I found this channel after you collaborated with Andong and I’ve been binging. I’ve never been a wine drinker but I was spurred to try more wine with combinations of food that you recommended in that video and it blew my mind. I’ll be collecting for years to come.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Thank you for letting me know!

[@benjaminbogliacino7778]

It'd be interesting to do a few segments on wines that have either experienced a surge in popularity or that have fallen out of favour (due to a change in taste or simply because not considered 'fashionable'). For example, the 'journey' Barbera d'Asti has been on in the last decade is quite remarkable (though I am biased, coz I am from that region...). Keep up the good work - I really enjoy the channel

[@alex86600]

Congrats on your channel, I really enjoyed watching your videos the past year! QOD: would love to watch tastings in specific price ranges. Take us along to the supermarket und show how to choose wine. Try wine from less popular regions such as Armenia, Georgia, Greece. Blind tastings with you and your intern Leon. Sparkling wine tasting and battle between regions.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Great suggestions!

[@TheMV1992]

This question went through my head numerous times watching your videos, let's find out!

[@christinewright1346]

Great videos, Konstantin. How about some tips now and then on the easiest European wine regions to visit using public transport? For those of us who don't want to drive to wineries, or pay for expensive tours with unnecessary frills like a personal chauffeur or gourmet food, but like to spend a few days exploring different wine regions.

[@renearestrup6099]

I'm new to your channel and so far I haven't been disappointet. Personally I'm in search of value. I find it interesting - and satisfying - to find wines that have an optimum relation between price and quality. It's sort of like a treasure hunt. I rarely pay more than EUR 25 a bottle, but I still find what I consider 'gems' within that budget. If nothing else, I've learned which wine regions to avoid.

[@francis7064]

Great video again! A pairing to try is sparkling Shiraz with spicy food. Indian curry and sparkling Shiraz is an Australian secret. Shockingly goes well together considering how bad still Shiraz is with spicy food.

[@rupertarabia]

Perhaps something on the growing and making of (a) wine(s): out in the vineyard with one of those callous-handed vignerons you mentioned! Excellent channel, thanks for putting all the content out.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Great idea

[@brenoe]

I hope to get a lot of recommendations that I can use to buy good wine. BUT: I was so happy when you made your video on Gigondas because I wanted to find some good inexpensive ones, but the ones you recommended was impossible to find.

[@thefistfromtheeast2118]

I like you're channel very much, i tell all my friends about it. I like you're take on wine and tastes. Wine is magical, i have a history in my family in working in the grapevine, and i drink only wine and water (except coffee in the morning ) for years now, but not working the wine myself even dough i want to make a living out of it . I would like that romanian wines had a more impact in the world but we have over 300 local wine grapes, but we only commercialize under 20, and that seems that lacks what you have.....passion. Its nice too see passionate people about wine in general like you. Lot of people like wine like a trendy fashion, but wine is art. Keep making your art promoting this art. :)

[@terryhsiao1745]

You the man:)

[@duxili]

Thank you for the channel and great contains As a recent subscriber I started with the 10th videos that I love and found very useful Also liked a lot the blind testing with your enlightening explanations. For 2022 I would like more of both! More details of the signature characteristics of various grapes / regions (or a comparison?) would be great! Wishing you and all your follower s very happy new year

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Awesome, thank you!

[@pathidah.543]

Manchmal mache eine Flasche auf und der Wein riecht unangenehm, bis er eine Weile Luft bekommen hat und dann förmlich aufblüht. Mich würden solche, häufig auftretenden, Phänomene interessieren mit deinem Hintergrundwissen.

Hi Konstantin Baum. I would like to know, which wines would you never buy/recommend or drink again and why? Thanks for your answer and your videos.

[@NickDeWachter]

Very useful Q&A session. It shows you can learn about wine without actually talking about wine. Something to do again someday I'd say 😉. For the rest : continue with the mix of videos you've been creating. I like how you alternate between blind tastings, regions etc. One more question that popped up while watching: how did you collect all your knowledge about wine? And what's the best way to learn about wine in your opinion?

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Glad you enjoyed it! Maybe that is a good topic for another video...

It would be great if you cover ‘en primeur’ campaigns of Bordeaux (or nee vintages of other famous regions) and then also make some recommendations on what to buy (not sure how your access as MS is to en primeur campaigns)

[@TheDesertWineGuy]

Hey Konstantin, can you review a couple of wines that we find on our grocery store shelves as I would be curious as to your opinion on them. By the way, I am not talking about Cupcake or Yellow Tail :) I think these types of reviews done can bring the wine tasting experience more down to Earth for some of us. This would also be one of the things that I would like to see this year please.

Fermenting in oak vs aging in oak after fermentation. Thank you for all the wonderfull video's!!!

Thanks - great ideas.

[@zacarytobia6466]

great video Konstantin. What would I expect from your channel this year, you asked? As I am a WSET Diploma student , I would like to learn from you how to better taste wines blind. I have seen you have made some videos where you taste blind and you are great at it. I would like to see and learn your tasting techniques. Could you walk us through your tasting system when you taste blind, lets say for a wine tasting examination. What you look for to find out what wine it is. I would like to know as you are a talented wine taster. Thank you, Zach

[@TorkildKahrs]

Thank you very much for your answer! For the next year I hope to see more videos where wine is contextualized, like "Five great grapes for [food type]" or "Why [district] wines are not like they used to be".

Hi Konstantin. Jancis Robinson has written about varietal Touriga Nacional (as distinct from its use in port) and rates it with Cabernet, Shiraz, Merlot and the other great red varieties, but it is not widely known or appreciated. It would be very interesting to know how you rate Touriga and perhaps do a tasting.

It would be nice to see some videos where you visit some of the great wineries of Mosel and Pfalz. Maybe a visit at Bürklin-Wolf, wasn‘t it the Pechstein-Riesling which you liked so much? That could be very interesting, don‘t you think? Besides of that it would be interesting to see a video where you taste all the different wines from the small areas sub-regions around Forst.

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Great suggestion!

[@adamg.manning6088]

I think it’s because it’s not in vogue to make desserts that are really, truly only “sweet” these days, without some sort of freshness or acidity, but I have to say that Champagne goes with pretty much anything, dessert included.

[@biolumate]

Not sure if you still read comments on old videos but in response to why there aren't more wine youtubers, I think it's multifaceted, and I'll speak from my own experience. 1. Describing a wine's taste and smell is very abstract, and in a sense can be quite subjective, especially with regards to those who are just starting out on their wine journey and those with a different culinary experience. For example, people in Asia don't really know what "red fruits" or "black fruits" taste like, and often do not know what plums or apricots smell like either. 2. Sourcing wines can be difficult. There may not be an importer in your region, and often purchases are based on trust. Online shopping is becoming more popular but for example I would much rather go to a trusted importer or purchase through auction houses than a random website especially considering I have no idea how they store their wines. 3. Most wine youtubers spend more time smelling tasting and exclaiming on camera, something that is enjoyable for the taster but doesnt add much for the viewer. Personally I quite like addition of quick points about wines and pertinent details. Some youtubers add too much information in their videos as well. Overall, I think more structure and organization would be helpful.

[@philippespiess6480]

You should consider developing a wine tasting class online. Wine tasting ‘boot camp’ for wine lovers with some knowledge including a selection of wines to develop this knowledge/expertise. 👍

[@Porkinator1000]

Please continue to make more videos about different grape varieties!

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

[@adjusted-bunny]

Loire wines are not super cheap! If you are searching for a good qpr regarding sparklers I recommend Franciacorta (Italy) and Cava from Penedes (Spain) for anything like champagne. For anything else sparkly Prosecco is really cheap. For something that is sweet and sparkly go for a good Asti Spumante even though I know it has a bad rep. Generally bargain wines are found in the following places: Portugal, South of France, South Africa, Chile, Argentina, Germany (however the bargains are rarely exported).

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

I think they are very cheap for what they are.

Hi Konstantin, I really enjoy watching your videos and you give a really good inside into the world of wine:) I have one quesstion, and thats is if you tastes sometimes hundreds of wines per week, is it at one point too much and you cant drink wine anymore for a day or do you like it so much that there is no limit?:)

I have a question! I am studying my last semester to get my Bachelor’s Degree in Sommelier and Meal Science at RHS, Grythyttan, Sweden. I love what I do here but I genuinely have no idea what to do once I'm done. I've had many bad experiences working as a waiter at different ranking restaurants here in Sweden but never as a sommelier which has left a bad taste in my mouth. Do you have any tips on what to do, where to look and so on once I'm done with my education to start getting experience? Thank you, love your videos!

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

I tried out many different things (Worked in restaurants, wineries and for merchants) before deciding that I want to be independent and don`t want to be limited to one area of the business. You should do that too. Do internships during university, travel and work for a bit and build your network.

Very good point on climate change that many do not appreciate. Some places will do better, while others do worse. It's why is very difficult to objectively model and predict climate change impacts.

[@superkinkel]

Thumbs up for the channel and this video. As you mentioned Wineking, please don‘t go there, I think it‘s too loud and unsystematic. Peter has some interesting insights, but Jay is a bit hectic and just ranking the 237 Chiantis Jay was able too source is plainly boring. Pat Farrell was a great loss for them, sadly he ha ceased his own channel obviously. As suggestion what Ikd like to learn more about: What‘s the expectation for charecteristics among adjacent crus? E.g. What do I expect from a Rully as compared to a Mercurey or a generic Burgundy or Cote Chalonaise? Or a Margaux from a Saint Estephe etc. etc. I thus liked the Gigondas video particularly!

In terms of high alcohol wines paired with spicy foods, gewürztraminer is often recommended with spicy foods, and it's usually somewhat high in alcohol. What is it about this varietal that makes it the exception?

It is often also sweet and that helps with spicy food. I do not think, though, that a 14abv Gewürz is a good match with a red Thai curry for example.

Mr Baum, can you tell us what the difference is between a Master of Wine and a Master Sommelier?

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Both are difficult and come from the UK. The MW started in the 50s and the MS in the 70s.The MS is a qualification for restaurants and the MW is for the Trade, Journalists and Winemakers. MWs don't have a service element, have to write long essays and have to taste 36 wines blind vs. 6 wines for the MS.

Alcohol in itself is bad for you. Everything in wine is from nature (but then so is Hemlock).

I would like to see subtitles on your channel because sometimes I don't understand certain words, so that I can google the words up. and I love your schooling us about wineries, vineyards, wines, grape varieties, and blind tasting videos! I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you!
