I can love a wine without drinking it, and I can love a non-alcoholic drink as well. The problem is when you stop drinking and you're used to drinking good natural wine or good craft beer, and then you're stuck with not many options in the world.
How do you navigate a career in wine while choosing sobriety? Laura Vidal, a sommelier and co-owner of two bustling restaurants in Marseille and Arles, dives into this very question in Episode 7 of 'Beyond Bars'. Laura opens up about her nearly two-year journey of living sober and the unique challenges she faces in an industry steeped in alcohol.
Her story isn't just about personal triumph; it’s a candid look at the pervasive issue of alcoholism in the restaurant business and how she reconciles her passion for wine with her commitment to sobriety. Laura also sheds light on the booming market for non-alcoholic craft beverages, offering insights into how these alternatives are gaining popularity. The conversation takes a turn towards the impact of COVID-19 on the restaurant industry, adding another layer of complexity to her narrative.
One of the most compelling parts of Laura's story is her advice for those considering giving up alcohol. She emphasizes the importance of questioning one's relationship with drinking and finding new ways to socialize without it. Laura's reflections are both thought-provoking and inspiring, encouraging listeners to explore the growing alcohol-free movement. Whether you're in the restaurant industry or simply curious about living sober, Laura Vidal's journey offers a refreshing perspective on balancing professional passion with personal well-being.
