We know that November is the month we spend on the couch with a blanket. The cold starts, with its rainy afternoons and the early sunset. The perfect plan for these “do nothing” afternoons is to access one of the many streaming platforms and discover a wide range of movies, series and documentaries where wine is the protagonist<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6 recommendations with wine as the main character\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is not the first time we share with you our cinematographic discoveries. In our previous article “Movies and wine: a lasting relationship”<\/a> we presented a small selection of films and series where wine also plays an important role. Jean Leon<\/a> lived in the USA during the Hollywood Golden Age, and thanks to his restaurant La Scala, he met many cinema stars. As for us, wine and cinema go hand in hand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A good year\u00a0<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our first recommendation is “A Good Year”, you will find it on Disney +<\/strong>. A film that was released in 2006, which tells the life of Max Skinner (Russell Crowne) a successful London stockbroker who receives a generous inheritance from his uncle Henry (Albert Finnery), a French vineyard. When he decides to go and discover his uncle’s legacy, he finds an old chateau to restore. His only goal is to sell the vineyard as soon as possible, but during his stay, he meets the owner of a restaurant, with whom he falls in love and discovers that he is not the only family member left alive.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
