Honey Spencer is a wine expert who has two little boys aged 6 and 1. She and her husband Charlie run a neighbourhood restaurant called ‘Sune’ in Hackney in East London, which she describes as feeling ‘wholesome and right’. Honey told me that Georgia is the birthplace of wine, and how she is a fan of ‘skin contact’ wine. She also described how vineyards are like the ‘canary in the coal mine’ of climate change. Honey has written a book about natural (organic) wines and is the wine director of Eurostar.
