In this episode I am joined by Alex Watson, co-founder of Renais—a premium gin crafted from upcycled grape skins sourced from his family's renowned vineyard in Chablis, France. Built alongside his sister, Emma Watson, Renais blends innovation with tradition to redefine sustainability in spirits. Alex shares the challenges of creating a brand that honors their family heritage, milestones like their UK launch, and their mission to craft a gin that’s as refined as the wine it comes from.
