Anyway, I was watching an episode of the Lincoln Lawyer, and one of the characters opens a Screaming Eagle (couldn’t catch the vintage). That was ballsy but realistic for the character.

In fact, Dom Perignon didn't produce a 1963 vintage wine, so that was a goof, but the character recommending it was a bit of a charlatan anyway, so it was sort of in character.

Every character does it the same way every time and it drives me batty!

It doesn't bother me any longer. It just tells me who is an amateur and who is a pro like us.

Like Ozric, I tend to yelp at every mishandling of a wine glass, on the big screen and small.

I'll add to both threads, in the Sopranos, bottles of Ruffino Chianti (if memory serves; I feel 90+% confident) show up a lot, everywhere wine is consumed -- their house, Vesuvio's, the back room at Satriale's....

And I recall that Tony came into a large supply of Pichon Lalande.

Do you know what "pela verga" means in Spanish ? It is a VERY bad word

And for the single word "pelaverga" it says it is Greek for "damn".

A silly 1970s-ish classic with parallels to Opera Buffa (and a score to match).
There are a couple of cute wine scenes with Glenda Jackson.

Status: offline 		Star Trek-Next Generation when Picard returns to Earth after his encounter with the Borg and goes to visit his estranged brother on the family vineyard in France. The bottle discussed is the ‘47 Picard, but fails to mention which century. Funny thing tho, still harvesting grapes by hand and bottling wine in glass in the 24th Century.

Funny thing, still harvesting grapes at all. Surely by then we either got off wine, it was banned, or we found a way to make a superiour product in industrial quantity in a lab, not trotting along with things grown in dirty soil.
