I enjoyed your very astute perspective on WINE as a cultural character. Having worked in the film industry for years I do think that an effort to present producers with the social positioning of alcohol is valid. And in addition to some kind of organic way, I also think that product placement can serve a purpose. Sharing the social perspective of WINE can educate and get a foot in the door for both raising the social positioning as well as commercial visibility.

This is one of your best posts, in a long series of well-thought-out commentaries. To "Yellowstone," I would add "Blue Bloods." At least twice in every episode, the family of generational police and detectives sits down to dinner together, and there's always wine on the table, usually red, I guess because that color shows up better. As the two boys grown older, they're gradually allowed to sip from a glass of wine, presenting a lesson in moderation. Whatever one thinks of the series itself -- like so many others, it went on too long -- I think it served as a beacon about the everyday consumption of wine within a family.
