Nerdiness level: beginner, sommelier level: medium, excitement level: advanced!
I'm a sommelier from Kazakhstan, currently working and studying in France. I have an undying passion to explore every wine corner in this world and share it with you - one episode at a time.
I also specialise in marketing, communications, PR and events. Bringing in past experience in Human Ressources, I'm curios about people in wine and their stories.

Episode 20: Wine & Health
🎙️Episode 20: Wine & Health with Mark DeWolf 🍷✨
As 2025 comes to a close, I’m thrilled to share a very special episode of the Introvert Wine Podcast with Mark DeWolf, wine professional, ADHD advocate, and fellow introvert. @dewolfexperiences @halifaxwinefair
This episode is all about wine & health — and in more ways than one. Between the holiday season’s pressures, deadlines, and the holiday blues, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and think about our wellbeing.
We dive into:
🌿 Mindful drinking and creating a healthier relationship with wine
🧠 Mental health and neurodivergence in the wine industry
🤝 Inclusivity, accessibility, and support in hospitality
🎯 Year-end reflections on balance, self-care, and wine culture
Mark also shares his personal journey with ADHD and depression, reminding us that if you’re struggling, reaching out and seeking help is always the right step. 💛
For me, this episode has inspired a personal experiment — trying Dry January in the wine world, and exploring what it’s like to work in wine while taking a pause from alcohol.
🎧 Join in now for a thoughtful, honest, and reflective conversation — a perfect listen to close out the year with care and mindfulness.
