Wines & Crimes combines true crime history with wine tasting, taking you deep into some of the most dramatic crimes of passion from the 18th and 19th centuries.
As each case unfolds, you'll be served a specially chosen wine and challenged to uncover why it has been paired with that particular story. Expect twists, scandals, superstition, and plenty of lively discussion along the way.
