VinePair Podcast

Adam, Joanna, and Zach talk about the Honey Deuce [https://vinepair.com/articles/honey-deuce-popularity-rise/], the signature cocktail [https://vinepair.com/articles/us-open-honey-duce-history/] of the U.S. Open, and whether it - and other drinks tied to a specific sporting event - can actually make a meaningful impact for brands. Is the pairing of the Open and the cocktail something that works but can't really be copied, or are drinks companies shying away from what could potentially be a powerful branding opportunity.

Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to a recent Substack post [https://barpilarr.substack.com/p/bring-back-wine-snobs] from wine influencer Pilar Brito about the need to tell people that mass market wine is bad. While there's certainly some folks who might respond positively to being told that the wine they like to drink apparently actually sucks, most consumers are likely to be turned off from the category if wine's already entrenched reputation for snobbery and elitism is reinforced right in their face.

Adam, Joanna, and Zach share some context and thoughts about the recent showing not just a noticeable decline in respondents who drink, but a particularly large drop in those who identify as Republicans. Has a new era of right wing political leaders and influencers really caused that kind of change in behavior, particularly among young people? Are there other factors at play?
