About this episode

Bottoms up, Awesomes! This week, we're taking you down the aisles of the liquor store to help you feel more confident in picking just the right bottle of spirits! Join Meg and her husband Kyle as they talk about the history of alcohol, how wine and beer are different from liquor and how they are the same, and they give their picks and recommendations to take to the store with you. Even if you don't drink, this list will give you tons of ideas for buying gifts for the connoisseur in your life! All of that plus a thought-provoking book and a royal listen in Awesome of the Week!
