If so, watch this right away. We all like wine, right, us that would pick this up and watch it. Perhaps one would expect something informative on the topic, visually pleasing, possibly even emotionally appealing somehow. What we're given is a wine expert per scene, at a table, talking about wine as if it were a treasure for the soul. Something vital and beneficial to the greater Good. You'll see them smiling like they've just found out the meaning of life, and it's a glass of wine in front of them making their face glitter - and again, we all like wine here (!). They talk to the point of rendering the audience drowsy, with such an affected tone and demeanor it gradually might wear one down and feel they're losing their time. When it isn't the verbose specialists, it's the makers themselves in their wine cellars, and you get to see them gurgle and spit out top quality wine then make some arbitrary comment about what they liked. You can tell most of the speakers couldn't believe their luck that they'd get a microphone and the attention all for themselves and get to speak at length, which they do a lot of.

There's something downright bizarre in looking at someone take a whiff from a glass of fine alcohol, and then look up, from that whiff alone, and drop 10min straight of poetry about it.
