#152 Weekly Update Frost in Europe Shared Sheep Don't call it wine drunk driving

It's been a tough week in the wine industry with frost, snow and
tough weather conditions. It will take a while to realize how big
the loss is. Nevertheless, we have some fun stuff to talk about,
starting from Italy's opinion on wine without alcohol, a sheep
sharing model in Oregon, a drunk driver without alcohol
consumption and a digital tongue beating human ones.
