The wine trend is coming, and I believe that many people will join the ranks of wine lovers. If you want to learn wine knowledge, but feel that reading information is very boring and brain-intensive, Xiaobian recommends you to watch the following 7 films. While watching movies, drinking wine, and tasting life.
The Sommelier
The "Master Sommelier" certificate issued by the Sommeliers Association is the highest honor in the wine industry, and on average, less than five people can actually pass the test each year and obtain the sommelier certification, with a pass rate of only 0.5%.
The "master sommelier" must have a wealth of knowledge and unimaginable professional qualifications in wine tasting, not only to memorize the varieties, characteristics, and origins, but also to require candidates to meet the unreasonable requirements of the "Austrians" in the simulated restaurant, and finally even to conduct a "blind tasting" test of three glasses of white wine and three glasses of red wine, which is known as the hellish trial of the sommelier world.
"Red Complex" – Released: 2013
"Red Obsession" portrays a legendary story between Bordeaux and China. This acclaimed documentary shows the risks and opportunities facing Bordeaux wines against the backdrop of the European debt crisis and rising global turmoil, and the story between them and the increasingly thriving Chinese market.
Sommelier 2: The Story in the Bottle – Released in 2015
Somm: Into the Bottle is the sequel to the movie Sommelier mentioned above, also directed by Jason Wise. Unlike the first, this sequel focuses more on wine culture and the winemaking process, covering more about wine, but the atmosphere is as witty and relaxed as ever.
Most importantly, the film features rare wines such as the 1969 Vintage Champagne Ruinart and the 1966 Robert Mondavi Winery Red Winery, so don't miss it!
