In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ben Miller from Shoptalk about some of the key trends shaping the retail industry today. From cutting through the noise of the AI hype to discussing the growing synergy between physical and digital retail, we covered a lot of ground. We also explored the rapid rise of retail media and what it means for brands and retailers alike.

And of course, we talked about the upcoming Shoptalk Europe event happening this June in Barcelona. If you're a retailer or a brand, don’t forget: the deadline to register for the Hosted Retailers & Brands Programme is May 9 — so act fast!

This year, 20/CENT Retail is proud to be a Shoptalk partner, and if you'd like a ticket or want to know more, feel free to reach out to me directly.

Today, I bring you a fascinating conversation with three winemakers: Jacob Bruun-Jensen from Dyrehøj Vingaard, Kim Thrysøe from Guldbæk Vingård, and Helle Stokkebye from Stokkebye Vineyard, as we dive into the world of cool climate wines, with a special focus on Danish wines.

We discussed the definition of these cool climate wines, the challenges they face, the issue of brand awareness, how they are perceived by the trade and by consumers, as well as the evolution of the wine market in Denmark and the country’s positioning. We even had the chance to mention the upcoming Cool Climate Wine Summit in Copenhagen, taking place in January 2026.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the Prowein team for providing the recording studio at the fair for this special episode.
