Wine Needs to Break the Rules

from VinePair Podcast

Joanna and Zach discuss a recent survey that found that many would-be wine drinkers, particularly younger ones, are put off by the rules, traditions, and lack of customization that seem endemic to the category. While totally forswearing tradition seems like a losing play, can wine producers, professionals, and vendors find ways to bring a bit more playfulness and flexibility to wine?
