Movie about British posh - NOT wine

This was horrible to watch. The move is about old British snobs, playing games, walking in their fancy clothes and promoting their wines. I have been to Portugal at least 8 times and visited the Port houses in Oporto. There you get a beautiful story about how Port is made, what to pair it with and most importantly what it is - something that was NOT mentioned here. If you are interested in Port wine then please do yourself the benefit of skipping this heresy and look for insightful information elsewhere.

Manages to make a delightful drink seem dull.

Port is one of my favorite drinks. So, when I saw that there was a documentary about it, I was excited. Sadly, however, the film manages to make an exciting and wonderful drink seem incredibly dull.The documentary is mostly set in Portugal...yet, oddly, the port makers are mostly British...coming from long, long family lines of Brits who have owned many of the great port houses. Instead of focusing only on the port, the film made the mistake of mostly following the day to day activities of these families. You see them yacht race, bike and supervise...but mostly party and hang out in old boys clubs....and this makes it very hard to relate to them or care about the doings of a lot of wealthy folks. Instead of being about port, it was more like an episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and does little to engender a love for the alcoholic drink. Skippable.
