Ask Dave Wine

Wine questions? Awkward food pairings? Want to know what the hell tannins are? Ask away.

@askdavewine isn’t just a handle — it’s your direct line to the bloke behind the bottle.

Dave Cush is a seasoned winemaker, ex-law student, father of three, and very much not into wine snobbery. With over two decades of hands-on experience, he’s here to break down the world of wine into something real, fun, and approachable.

Whether you’re a total beginner, a curious sipper, or someone who still calls rosé “pink wine,” this is the place for you.

What Kind of Things Can You Ask?

Anything wine-related that you have always been keen to know. Things like:

  • What’s the best wine to take to a BBQ?

  • Is red wine really good for your heart?

  • Why does some wine give me a headache?

  • How do I store wine properly if I don’t have a cellar?

  • What’s minimal intervention actually mean?

No question is too basic. No jargon required. All welcome.
