Alright, alright, let’s talk about them wine movies, the ones you can watch on that Netflix thingy. I don’t know much about fancy stuff, but I do know a good story when I see one, especially if it’s got some of that grape juice in it.
So, first off, there’s this movie called “Bottle Shock”. Now, this one’s a real hoot. It’s all about how some folks in California, they made some wine that surprised everyone, even those snooty French fellas. Yep, they went over there and showed them what’s what. It’s like David and that Goliath fella, only with wine. Took place way back in 1976, way before you young’uns were even born.
Then there’s this other one, “Uncorked”. This one’s about a young fella, Elijah, he’s all dreamy-eyed about becoming some kinda wine expert, a “Master Sommelier” they call it. But his daddy, he wants him to work in the family business. You know how daddies are, always wanting you to do what they think is best. It’s a bit of a tearjerker, this one, but good. It shows you how hard folks work to follow their dreams, even if it means going against their family.
- A Year in Burgundy: Now this one, it ain’t got no fancy story, not like the others. It just shows you how folks in France, they make their wine. They follow them families around for a whole year, watching them plant them grapes and turn ’em into wine. It’s kinda slow, but it’s real pretty. You get to see all them green fields and them grapes growing. Makes you appreciate a good glass of wine, that’s for sure. You see the whole shebang, from start to finish.
- Sour Grapes: I ain’t seen this one myself, but I heard it’s a bit of a mess. Something about folks selling fake wine, tricking people outta their money. Sounds like a bunch of no-good scoundrels to me. But some folks like that kinda drama, so maybe you will too. Always some bad apples in every barrel, they say.
- The Invitation: This one, well, it ain’t really just about wine. It’s got some wine in it, alright, but it’s more about secrets and spooky stuff. Maybe not the best if you’re just looking for something light and happy. But if you like a bit of a thrill with your wine, then go for it. Just don’t blame me if you can’t sleep at night!
So, there you have it, a few wine movies you can watch on that Netflix thing. They ain’t all the same, some are funny, some are sad, some are just plain interesting. But they all got one thing in common: wine. And that’s good enough for me. I reckon there’s a movie for everyone on that list. Go on, grab yourself a glass – or a bottle, I ain’t judgin’ – and settle in for a good movie night. Just remember to drink responsibly, you hear?
And don’t go spendin’ all your money on fancy wines, neither. Sometimes the best ones are the ones you can afford. That’s what I always say. Just like these movies, they ain’t cost you nothin’ extra if you already got that Netflix thingy. So there ya go, a whole night of entertainment, all thanks to them grapes and the folks who make ’em into somethin’ special.
