The VinePair Podcast: It’s OK if ‘The Bear’ Doesn’t Care About Wine
While the majority of wine reporters are up in arms about the lack of wine featured on Hulu’s hit show “The Bear,” Adam, Joanna, and Zach don’t really see the issue. For one, the joy and excitement of wine doesn’t tend to carry over to the TV screen. More often than not, all you’re seeing is someone pulling a cork and pouring wine into a glass. Also, it’s not as if there haven’t been plenty of other shows that have heavily featured wine, for better or worse.
Even when wine does make it onto a TV show, wine media are quick to get nitpicky over minor details like the drinker not holding their glass correctly. Perhaps the wine industry should just take wins where it can instead of trying to have its cake and eat it, too.
On this episode of the “VinePair Podcast,” Adam, Joanna, and Zach dissect the press’s criticisms of wine on television, and make a case for why TV shows have no obligation to feature wine in the first place. Tune in for more.
