About this listen

How can you cheat… at drinking wine? It turns out you can. And when you do, a whole world of power, ego and money will unravel.

Corked is the scandalous saga in the glamorous, competitive and mysterious world of fine wines. Its topmost echelons are fiercely guarded – and harder to reach than outer space.

Join James Beard & Walkley winning journalist (and prodigious drinker of the 2nd cheapest bottle on the menu) Marc Fennell as he steps into a world he patently does not belong to (but clearly enjoys the taste of). Marc will uncork this scandal with —at first— an amusing and lighthearted touch that immerses listeners in the particularities, delights, tensions, and absurdities of this world. Travel across the world as he attempts to learn the florid language of wine, attends exclusive tastings, meets colourful wine devotees in dimly lit cellars. He even takes a gallant stab at being a sommelier himself. But as the podcast goes deeper, the story takes a darker turn, and this scandal unveils a pattern of abused power and authority.

The fallout after the cheating allegations were exposed is our small doorway into a very big story playing out in institutions across the world. Culture is shifting. The old world order is being upended. Is that a change for the better? And are the unintended consequences worth exploring?©2025 Vespucci (P)2025 Audible Australia Pty Ltd.
