• Is the Alcohol Business Actually Recession-Proof?

  Adam, Joanna, and Zach interrogate an oft-repeated and deeply-held industry belief that "alcohol is recession-proof." While it may be true in the past that consumers continued to drink at similar levels regardless of the economic situation around them that doesn't mean that recessions don't cause massive changes and create massive challenges. Plus, what if all of the ugly sales data of the last couple of years is connected to the average American consumer simply not feeling as good about the economy as the top-level numbers of the stock market would make you think.

• Can Wine Find a Home at Sports Bars?

  Adam, Joanna, and Zach respond to the recent news about canned wine brand Archer Roose partnering with Buffalo Wild Wings, and discussed the mostly unexplored potential for wine at sports bars. Given that wine as a category needs to do more to be where people are drinking, and that sports bars remain a reliably successful business model, how can wine brands of various stripes establish a presence at this kind of bar, and is there room for higher-end wines at the right sports bars?

• Is the Honey Deuce a Model to Follow?

  Adam, Joanna, and Zach talk about the Honey Deuce, the signature cocktail of the U.S. Open, and whether it - and other drinks tied to a specific sporting event - can actually make a meaningful impact for brands. Is the pairing of the Open and the cocktail something that works but can't really be copied, or are drinks companies shying away from what could potentially be a powerful branding opportunity.
