Customer Reviews

Amusing AND educational
It's highly entertaining watching this modern day "odd couple" traipse around the vineyards of France during the summer of 2006. Respected wine "expert" Oz Clarke is attempting to educate enthusiastic wine consumer James May. The constant bickering and arguments (usually centred on Clarke's frustrations with May getting tanked at every opportunity) make for great viewing.

Along the way Clarke does well to impart a great deal of wine knowledge which is actually useful.

Well worth a watch, whether you're looking for some light entertainment, or an easy introduction to the complexities of French wine making.

Funniest Programme This Year.
I haven't laughed so much in a long time. James is hilarious as the normal bloke to Oz's wine snob, basically getting drunk at every available opportunity. If you ever looked at someone spitting out the wine during a tasting and thought "what a waste" you'll appreciate the humour. Personally I love wine and I love James May, so can't say I'm an impartial judge, but I'd defiantly recommend it to my friends.

Oz & James's Big Wine Adventure
Oz the wine buff allegedly met James the beer drinker in a pub and the result was a month long trip around France to teach James all about wine. It's a great job that they did. This DVD is very funny and at the same time very informative. Even if you're not a big wine fan it's great to see a two very different guys form a really good friendship. This DVD is thoroughly recommended!!!
