The Politics of Drinking


Listen Later

Do you Asian flush? We do, along with approximately 1 in 3 East Asians in the world. We discuss the politics of drinking in this episode with our friend Moi, a wine industry professional and author of Veraison Magazine. Join us as we explore the joys and stigmas that comes with drinking, the interaction between race, Eurocentrism and wine, and our hopes of changing attitudes to Asian flush and the makeup of the wine industry.
