Adam, Joanna, and Zach explain why bars centered around a singular personality are risky business propositions that rarely can support long-term success or growth when the main draw of the bar is one famous bartender or sommelier.

Adam, Joanna, and Zach debate whether wine bars that focus on a specific region or style of wine are a better bet than the more generalized sort - does a focused and easily-understood concept make guests more at home, or do people resent having their choices confined in such a way?

Adam, Joanna, and Zach ponder what this upcoming summer will teach us about drinks trends, including if rosé can avoid the general malaise in the wine category, if any cocktails can steal the Martini's shine, and what in the world will beer do?

In light of recent data showing that America's most expensive cities are seeing college-educated residents leave in high numbers, Adam, Joanna, and Zach speculate on how this might affect the restaurant and bar industries - perhaps driving prices even higher in those cities while creating more enticing opportunities in other cities with lower costs of living.

Joanna returns just in time to discuss the recent spate of celebrity RTD launches with Adam and Zach. Will these succeed in the same way that many celebrity spirits brands have? Is it a problem for these RTDs that they likely won't get on-premise placements? Will NPH come talk with us about his espresso martini?

Introducing Taplines, a brand-spankin’-new podcast about the modern history of American beer, only on the VinePair Podcast Network. Each week, contributing editor and columnist Dave Infante will interview a different guest about a triumph, tribulation, or turning point in the evolution of the United States’ multibillion-dollar beer industry. This week, the Original Lite Beer from Miller hit American supermarket shelves in 1975 — and from then on, nothing was the same. To learn how the beer that we'd come to know simply as Miller Lite lit the fuse on the intense, decades-long campaign of corporate competition known to industry insiders simply as "The Light Beer Wars," we're joined by Maureen Ogle, historian, and author of "Ambitious Brew," a vital narrative history of the American beer business. Listen on for a tale of low calories, high stakes, and huge egos — and of course, a reappraisal of the iconic gauntlet August Busch III famously threw down to his Phillip Morris-backed rivals at Miller Brewing Company as they came for the King of Beers in the mid-70s.

Adam and Zach ponder why gin, despite its general popularity, seems singularly unable to break into the luxury spirits space, in particular high-end bottles and the conspicuous consumer set. Is it because it needs to be a cocktail ingredient, or because it's not barrel-aged, or what?
