This week on Wine O’ Meter Weekly Wine News, Amy and Chris pour through a wild flight of stories: Gen Z’s shifting drinking habits, Napa’s AI-fueled fight against climate chaos, and rats that might just out-sniff your favorite sommelier. Plus, Target launches wine in paper bottles, bees prove they’re vineyard MVPs, and some unsettling “forever chemicals” sneak into your European vino. We’ve also got wine pairings for Cinco de Mayo, a wild whiskey label dispute, and the vinegar hack that might just save your carpet. Oh—and our producer Chuck Griffith has a children’s book about an anxious yellowjacket coming soon. Because of course he does.

Snappy, smart, and just the right amount of snark—press play and let’s pour into it.
