I hope you didn’t immediately try mixing coffee and wine. That’s not what I meant. Beyond the clickbaitiness of the header there is a general relationship between these two substances that goes beyond the flavor palettes and the time of day you may find yourself consuming them.

Both worlds, although literally night and day, are cultivated by people who care.

Over the years coffee and wine circles have upheld and continued to gain a reputation for focusing on the details. Both tend to be rabbit holes full of experimental fermentation processes, exhaustive supply chain transparency, and an out-of-this-world standard in snobby graphic design.
