Throughout the centuries, the role of women in the whiskey business has

been schizophrenic. Women have primarily taken over distilleries during

emergencies, when men in their families died or went off to war. Despite

the fact that women in positions of leadership performed as well or

better than men, their accomplishments didn’t lead to a situation where

they were promoted any faster—at least, not until the recent

breakthroughs in the area of equal rights. Mark talks with Fred Minnick,

author of Whiskey Women, a fascinating book that traces the role of

women in the liquor business. On Bizarre Beverage News, Mark discusses

the bogus reports of a global wine shortage, and examines yet another

case of trademark infringement: Jack Daniel’s is suing Popcorn Sutton’s

Tennessee White Whiskey for using a square bottle and a similar label.
