Manage episode 285838193 series 2883027
When we call facial tissue Kleenex, that's a form of genericization. It turns out that happens with wine as well!
This week, Philip talks about the history of Hermitage, one of the first genericized brands in wine. A story that begins in the Crusades ends up all the way in Australia and South Africa.

Liam is inspired by the public art in San Francisco to talk about Bacchus and wine gods around the world. Awaken Bacchus!
