Wine for the Confused

"Wine for the Confused" is a documentary hosted by John Cleese. It is a light-hearted introduction to wine for novices.

Cleese guides viewers through the basics of wine types and grape varieties, wine making, wine tasting and terminology, buying and storing wines, through direct narrative and interviews with wine makers and wine sellers. The film duration is 92 minutes and includes visits to wineries seen in the film "Sideways".

The film concludes with a large group conducting a blind wine tasting. One the tasting results was the fact that most tasters could not distinguish between red wine and white wine. Another was that most tasters rated an inexpensive wine equal in taste to an expensive prestige wine, and both of these out scored the rest of the mid-priced and high-priced wines in the blind test.
