Grape and Hops

Yes - "glass of grape," "sparkling grape beverage" on radio advertisements etc. It's been like that for ages.

I have to say, hearing silly mentions of "grape" and "hop" and "bubbly" (whether "house" or "French") in advertisements is something I won't miss when I toddle off next year....
