Do the masses really yearn for pumpkin beers in late July, or are retailer expectations of consumer behavior completely at odds with the weather patterns? How do European wine bars manage the tightrope walk of serving food without being a full-blown restaurant when American wine bars can’t seem to master that art?

Plus, they discuss wine packaging sustainability and the frustrating struggle to make kegged wine classy. Tune in for more.
