 Listen to our interview with John Cleese. |
"Don't let anyone ever try to tell you what wine you like, because people have different tastes and we shall honor that," he heralds at the start. The point of the program is clear and simple: to help you find and describe wines you like; to show how to buy wines at a good value; and to provide tips on how to get the most enjoyment from the wines you do buy. With this attitude, his considerable charm, and his gentle wit, Cleese is the perfect host for this material, and right off the bat he strikes just the right tone--instructive, but light-hearted. The result is delightful.
First covered are the six major varieties of wine-producing grapes (first the whites, then the reds, just as at a tasting), the fermentation process, and tasting notes to help you learn what you like and how to describe it ("Quality should be judged by your own taste."). Next is "Buying Wine." Now that you know what you like, learn how to find it at a good value for the money. Finally there is "Storing and Serving Wine," with simple tips for savoring your purchase.
Novice wine lovers will find Wine for the Confused helpful and reassuring as well as inspirational; don't be surprised if you find yourself turning off the DVD and heading straight to the wine shop with newfound confidence... and that's just what Cleese would want for you. --Dan Vancini

Customer Reviews of John Cleese - Wine for the Confused
Very enjoyable! I really enjoyed this...John Cleese is warm and funny, but actually interested in this subject and conveys it well. This is NOT some sort of "sommelier course" in wine, it is directed toward those with basic knowledge who want to learn a little more. People expecting some sort of advanced info be warned. Cleese picks a few common types of wine and visits local (to him) California vineyards to learn about the production process, and a little more about each type of wine. Some basic info about serving wine, ordering wine in restaurants, etc., is included...along with John's mantra, "Drink what you like!" <

>It's altogether un-snobby and enjoyable. My only complaint is that it's too brief. I would like to see Cleese host some sort of ongoing wine series on the Food channel. I really love his style. <
> <
>Regarding the preview of the movie at the beginning...I don't know what the other reviewer was referring to when mentioning a preview with "lots of nudity"...that certainly wasn't on the dvd I watched. What was there was a preview for a foreign film which had some sexual innuendo. Nothing too offensive, and certainly not worth giving this dvd a bad review! <

Save the money for wine and TiVo Andrea Immer Robinson
I found this DVD boring, vapid and bordering on amateurish. As mentioned in at least one other review, the teaser trailer (for some foreign language movie) that autoplays is wholly inappropriate based on the intended subject matter (and audience) of the DVD. John Cleese is not particularly entertaining or funny in any of the segments, and most segments feel like a scripted interview where neither party is particularly comfortable. The cinematography is atrocious, and in the end, the content is woefully inadequate and ill-organized. I understand that this video is intended for wine neophytes, but I think you will gain a far better understanding of wine by watching Andrea Immer Robinson's "Simply Wine" on Fine Living or by buying her DVD. Save your money for wine.
Not worth it
This product was accidently sent to my parents home, so I told them to watch it before they forwarded it on to me. They never did, and boy am I glad they didn't. This video has a five minute cheesy preview for another movie, and in their preview lots of nudity is shown. My parents would NOT have been amused. It was so bad I thought that I might have gotten a mis-labeled DVD. But not, the John Cleese part eventually showed up.

>John Cleese's standard humor you have known from his movies is lacking, the party at his house looks totally scripted, the interviews are stiff and do not flow, etc. Anyone want to buy my copy...?
