Wine In Film

It’s list time again!

This time I’ve compiled a list of movies that wine has played a role. Occasionally it’s a small part, other times it’s the main character—either way, it’s played a part. This doesn’t even count movies that someone is simply holding a glass.

Sometimes, in films like Sideways and Silence of the Lambs, a line from a film enters the cultural lexicon. Anytime someone mentions Merlot—my mind wanders to Paul Giamatti angrily screaming. The same happens when someone references Chianti—I hear Anthony Hopkins low, menacing voice.

Anyway, it shows up is fine by me—like how it unabashedly shows up in every episode of Cougar Town!
