Summary
Hidden behind the prestigious labels of our greatest wines are all the ingredients of a pitiless world of rivalries, intrigue and back-stabbings. If oil is black gold, wine is the red gold of today. Our top wines have abandoned their outdated charm, and metamorphosed into real blockbusters that change hands at fabulous prices on a globalised marketplace. For the first time ever, over the course of a year, cameras have penetrated this inner, closed circle to follow its workings, denounce its excesses and reveal the way it functions. We see the world of wine as never before, with its complexity, its amazing knowhow - but also all its most embarrassing secrets. Pesticides in our finest wines? Suspect classifications? 'Appellations' with mysterious criteria? This is an in-depth look into the maze of this world, where critics have become like courtesans, and where 'winemakers' have taken the place of winegrowers.

Summary
Oz Clarke - renowned wine authority, Francophile and former Wine tasting champion of the World - attempts to reveal the wonder of the world's most complex viniculture to James May - a beer drinker who can only identify a wine only as being nice or nasty. The results are often ugly and embarrassing for Britain. This is what happens when two grown mean spend a month together in a car arguing about who's going to drive and whether or not it is acceptable to eat with your fingers in the Chateau of a French aristocrat. French wine, for many people, is a subject shrouded in mystery and confusion and following Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure, it remains so. Can you make your own wine in a bucket? Should you spit or swallow? And where does this tent pole go?
