French Wine and Phylloxera // The Little Pest that Changed the Wine Industry

from Decades Distilled // A History of Whisky · host Kurt Maitland and Sarah Jeltema

Send a textThis week we're continuing the conversation around the history of whiskey in the 1880's. And yes, today's episode will lean more on wine, but it was phylloxera, a little insect that would set the stage for the story we'll tell this season. As you'll learn, it was this plaque that would vastly change the wine industry, and thus help grow the whiskey industry into what it is today.
