Listening to a Sherlock Holmes program.

P-E-T-R-I spells the finest name in American wines! I’ve been assured by someone who actually did try Petri Wine that it was pretty much a cheap and particularly poor brand.

Ha in the episode I listened to-at the end, Dr Watson says something like "I was wondering how you were going to bring it into the conversation."

I wonder if Bruce ad-libbed those and the director always just let them fly or if they were written into the script; if the latter, it kind of indicates that the writers were as annoyed with the constant need to bring up the sponsor as the listener was (and is). Unfortunately, it doesn’t get any better with Kreml Hair Tonic, later on in the series—in fact, the Petri ads are (relatively!) more amusing.

I guess "poor" is subjective; but Wikipedia says that in 1953 Petri was the largest domestic winery.

Is there a wine that was ever widely advertised on radio or television ever any good? I can't think of one. Journeyman maybe, nothing way above average that I can recall.

Then let us all be thankful that later in the decade at least SUSPENSE switched over to Autolite ( 'You're always right with ...')
