Topic: Wine Shortage

A reported glass bottle shortage is threatening the 2021 wine vintage, as wineries struggle to secure specialized containers. This leads the hosts into a lengthy tangent about launching a "No Agenda" branded box wine, potentially titled "Woke Wine." They brainstorm marketing strategies for "Artisan Boxed Wine" and "Shard" (Chardonnay), discussing the logistics of specialized bottling equipment and the potential for a "lease-to-own" domain name.

Reports from the *Wall Street Journal* and French wine cooperatives indicate a looming global wine shortage of approximately 1.3 billion bottles. Production has slumped in major regions including France, Italy, and Spain, leading to a 10 million hectoliter shortfall. Prices for generic bulk wine in Spain have already doubled, and experts predict a scarcity of budget wines in the coming year.
