A Good Year
Sideways
A walk in the clouds
Bottle Shock
Some of the movies in the west have been inspired by the aura of wine and beautiful stories have been spun around the grape vine. As a wine connoisseur it would be interesting to know some of these.

Some famous and not so famous movies made around the wine theme are: A Good Year, Sideways, Walk in the Clouds, Bottle Shock.

Then there is a slight different genre about the excess of alcohol like the classic, The Days of Wine and Roses with its famous song Moon River.

As of today there still isn’t any Indian movie though that captures the wine theme on the big screen. I do hope that in the near future there will be a Mumbai flick showing off our wine landscape to the Indian and western wine world.

One could imagine a beautiful love story, woven in the farming milieu, showcasing the rustic charm of the rolling hills along the Western Ghats or even the foot hills of the Himalayas.

Until the Indian cinema wakes up to this new backdrop we could feel content watching what the west has to offer! You can mail me at patashwini @gmail.com with your comments.
