Over the years, we have had presenters who Malou von Sivers, Bengt Magnusson, Anders Kraft and not least Steffo Törnquist guide viewers with fun features, news broadcasts and the occasional tip from experts in everything from food to drink.
One of all those who have come to be strongly associated with the program is Bengt Frithiofssonthe wine and drinks expert who stayed with the channel for 25 years, before quitting in 2016.
We all probably remember the phrase: “Hello winelovers”, which became synonymous with Bengt Frithiofsson every time he entered the broadcast.

When the restaurateur and Nyhetsmorgon’s own star chef Erik Videgård during Sunday visited the program to cook and share his tips and tricks with viewers, he also took the opportunity to speak about his former friend.
– I have known Bengt for 40 years as a freshly baked waiter at the Golden Peace here in Stockholm, he enters. He takes up the whole room, and with a fat cigar that he had. He was so happy and so engaging, I remember his sly look, he said.
– From us winelovers to you Bengt in heaven, thank you for everything and now rest in peace, tabbed Jenny Alversjö in.
