German riesling and guilt
First stop is Germany, where guilt, terroir and riesling are on the menu.
Hungarian dessert wine and right-wing nationalism
In Hungary, the menu is on border fences, the EU's eastern enlargement, the right-wing nationalist party Jobbik and the sweet Tokai wine.
Barolo and political chaos
In Italy it stands on political chaos, the Five Star Movement and mature Barolo with former Prime Minister Romano Prodi.
Burgundy and EU enthusiasm
In France, EU enthusiasm and prime ministerial confessions are on the menu - and then it's harvest time in fashionable Burgundy.
Strong wine and Catalan independence
In Spain, the Catalan winegrowers want to be independent at all costs, former Prime Minister José Maria Aznar, in return, wants to put down the rebellion. And in the middle of it all, 100-year-old vines stand calmly, as they always have.
Bubbles and Brexit
As bartenders in a dingy pub, the two travelers get to the extent of explaining why the English want to leave the EU. On the wine side, the English also think they can manage without the EU - they have copied Champagne!
