“DIY has never gone out of fashion, but in the last few years we’ve seen a real revival in this area. What started in 1972 as a pharmacy and drugstore has grown over a few decades into Europe’s most highly specialized wholesaler for products for making your own wine, beer, liqueurs or dairy products.” Meet Bart Balis in this episode.
