Over the past two years, wine has gradually become part of urban culture.
Kenyans are craving for knowledge on wine, prompting sommeliers to host tasting classes, which shifted online when coronavirus locked clubs.
But while other alcohol sectors were facing a dry spell when bars closed, wine shops experienced a flow of customers.
Wine sellers have something to toast about this year: Thirst for a good bottle of wine is still growing, even in a pandemic.
