Sour Grapes

as a kid who grew in France and spent my summer working in vignobles in burgundy. This movie made me sick. A bunch of foreign billionnares wannabes who treat wine like stocks and commodities, pretentious vocabulary and disgusting arrogance. money really does ruin everything. people respect the Chinese guy on the video because with his 1 million a month allowance he buy them expensive bottles period. I can't stop thinking about the guy who trained me in Burgundy and the way he talked about wine, the earth, nature, the sky.... like none of the guys will never experience. he hurt me seeing my patrimoine being ripped off. I'm tired to see our vignobles being bought by Chinese oligarches who transplant their materialism in everything they touch,

I was not familiar with the case of wine conman Rudy Kurniawan before this film. This guy was obviosity believable to the point some of the people he sold fake wine too, were still defending him even after his conviction. It really does show that it is much easier to fool somebody than to convince them they have been fooled, AKA the last two years come to mind. Amazing how long this guy was able to operate his scam and make millions all the while hanging out with and being adored by the very people he took advantage of. I thought this doc. Was interesting and well made , recommend.

I don't drink wine, but I found this documentary very interesting. It's amazing how these self appointed experts were (like the Hollywood director who rather pathetically refuses to take off his shades) - and still are - fooled by what this guy did. They're probably living in denial, embarrassed. And I can't say I'm upset with Koch losing money. I'm only upset he didn't lose more of it.

Documentary about the fine and rare wine auction market centering around a counterfeiter who befriended the rich and powerful and sold millions of dollars of fraudulent wine through the top auction houses.

I don't drink wine often, don't particularly care for it, and know next to nothing about collecting it or its value. Despite that, this documentary was fascinating -- the ability to con the best collectors, and the FBI's attempts to track down the con man. It is a great story of crime, as well as a nice tale of pulling one over on rich snobs who might need a good pranking from time to time.

Good documentaries are hard to find, but this is one of them. It covers everything it needs to and never lingers for too long. If it hasn't already happened, someone needs to turn this into a feature film.

This documentary was a fascinating insight into the workings a conman. It was like dipping a toe into the world of extreme wealth and extravagance of the millionaire and billionaire wine collectors. My eyes are still watering over some of those sums of money paid for a single bottle of wine.
