Wine sightings in shows/film

[TGigante]

The new show “Grand Crew” is actually a play on Grand Cru. Think of it as a reboot of friends with a wine bar called Cru replacing Central Perk. There’s a very prominent poster/wine label across from the actual bar, 2013 Theopolis Petite Sirah.

Good for Theopatra

That was a BD offering a while back. It was in a 3pk with a white and a rose.

I drank the PS recently.

Vanderpump wines show up quite often on Vanderpump Rules. Not that I watch that show, mind you.

Reviving this thread to add the great Vincent Price (as Fortunato Luchresi) and Peter Lorre (as Montresor Herringbone) from “Tales of Terror”:

Vincent Price as Fortunato Luchresi

When I initially became interested in wine, I tended to imitate Fortunato Luchresi’s style when tasting wine. Over the years, I’ve moved to the Montresor Herringbone approach.

Fun thread.
People may know this, but the original Karate Kid movies were written by Robert Mark Kamen, prolific screenwriter and proprietor of Kamen Wines.

Slight thread drift here – have you noticed how red wine in TV shows and movies is usually far lighter in color and more transparent than actual wine? More like a glass of cranberry juice or something in terms of the color and transparency.

I’m guessing they aren’t using actual wine and just don’t think it’s worth the effort to make whatever else they’re putting in the glasses look like wine? There is plenty of very cheap real wine out there, but maybe there are some workplace rules, or they don’t want characters being impaired drinking it.

Not a big deal, just something I notice and wasn’t sure if anyone else had.

I noticed the same thing. I make comments about it to my wife but now I just shut up because I sound like a broken record to her.

Season 1 of Fauda. Doron is supposed to be an actual grower and winemaker.

Binging Succession this week and there was a scene in Season 3 with a magnum of Pingus

In Season 4, Connor is drinking Haut-Brion at his rehearsal dinner.

On a different note, I’ve seen rerun episodes of at least two different shows recently in which the dialogue claims they are drinking Chateauneuf-du-Pape but it is a Bordeaux-style bottle. It’s annoying.

In The Parent Trap remake (which we watched 1M times when our daughter was younger) the special bottle was Where Dreams Have No End. It was presented as a red wine…

[Sean_Devaney]

In Two and a Half Men bottles of Clos Du Val chardonnay are poured in multiple episodes but only the back label is shown. My guess is someone on the show liked the wine CDV wouldn’t pay placement fee.

[Ju1ian_Dev1in]

Reading this and thought “I’ve seen Clos du Val in more movies than any other wine”… googled and sure enough: Clos du Val wins product placement game - Decanter

Coincidentally, I watched Safe House over the weekend and there was a scene that showed and mentioned a 1972 Petrus shared between Denzel Washington’s character and a long-time friend/associate/accomplice of his. Showed up again later in the movie. I do not remember all the dialogue, but recall a message of enjoying simpler things in life (not that a 1972 Petrus is anything simple).

[Mike_Grammer]

Mentioned way up in the movies thread in Asylum, but The Menu started with a bottle of Caroline Morey Chassagne (I think 2014, didn’t quite make out the 1er Cru vineyard)

[David_Bu3ker]

Anybody else notice the Screaming Eagle in The Lincoln Lawyer?
