Business is Booming! Meet the Folks Who Aren’t Afraid of Anti-Russian Sanctions

What does a French man and his family, a Russian man, and a Russian woman all have in common? They’re all involved in the booming wine business of Crimea! 🍷 Anti-Russian sanctions don’t scare them, in fact, it’s only given them more motivation to push their own, local product. 🍇 I went to visit their lucious vineyards, and galloped my way across the Crimean countryside (Fedya, you’ll always have my heart! 🐎) A very special guest took me to his wine cellar where we tried old barrelled Russian wine. And I got to hear a tale about how a ship became the unlikely muse of the hottest bar in Sevastopol. Watch my Crimean adventure, alongside the passionate and brave folk who taught me about wine, life, and finding your true calling — more than I had ever known before. 🍷 Stay up to date on our adventures, don’t forget to like 👍 & subscribe! 🔔 📸 — for more content and behind the scenes of living in Russia 00:00 - military and wine?! 🚁🍷 01:09 - watch me suffer 😅 01:45 - Aleksey is back! 🍇 02:55 - grapes of Gorbachev’s wrath 😱 05:18 - a battle ship turned bar ⚓️ 06:03 - fruits of anti-Russian sanctions🧀 07:59 - the people of Crimea are the best ❤️‍🔥 08:48 - the early bird gets the…grape 🍇 09:45 - famille de France! 🍷🇫🇷 10:15 - hold your horses! 🐎 12:25 - what’s harder?
