The Great Drinking Conquest of Siblinghood
25 March 2024
This is a great show. It's awesome how accents and regionalities are perfectly represented and the most echelon of the wine world to the poorest grower and famer of the grape with the capitalist markets taking over and the guide being an axis of importance in this strange world of wine.

It's quite an interesting critique of how pompous and extravegent the wine world can be but it's also brilliant and warming and earthy and so spirited and everything excellent about wine and that world too. The terrior is strong in this one!

I loved that it has a focus on different elements of French and Japanese lifestyles. That it accurately depicts both; especially the scorn of affairs and the complications of people and the complications of amour.

The pace was fabulous. The acting was superb. I just found some of it a bit pretentious and pompous but that is becuase I don't care for the higher-end of that society and how much money gets involved for the 'creme de la creme' of society.

It's highly refreshing with a serious show about wine and the reviewing and tasting of wine. I loved the notes and the expressions of the tastings and the chase of each task and the gallantry shown. The ending is also most beautiful and poignant

Acting is absolutely first-class and the narrative is excellent. It must have been a long screen play especially as it has to set scenes in multiple locations with extensive research.
