Wine Needs Expertise, Not Snobs

from VinePair Podcast

Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to a recent Substack post 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.
