Red Obsession

This is a documentary for wine lovers. Beer drinkers need not apply.

I'm a wine person. I have consumed, studied, taught and debated the topic for almost 30 years now.

You might think the movie is about wine but it's not. It's about the transformation of China and it uses the dusty old traditional wineries of France to highlight just what is going on.

I was expecting to see a cliché movie, but instead I was overwhelmed. This movie shows exactly what is going on with a cohort of Chinese society.

Solid documentary showing both the highs, and the lows of the impact a China can have on any industry, as the moods of their people shift from one object of status to another. Very fair to both sides, and this movie kept the dialog clear, and open.

This is an Australian-produced doco, looking at the history of wines from Bordeaux.It is 75 minutes long.

Getting rather aggravated with these nouveau riche Chinese folks who think they are going to show up the world. Well, who would be proud to have ANYTHING that says MADE IN CHINA??

I was only mildly interested in watching this documentary and turned it on expecting very little. After all, I rarely ever drink French wines and just don't have much interest in them.
