When we drink wine, we don't look at the price value. We look at what we get from the wine: the excitement, the passion, the way they make the wine.

Introduction

Would you spend $20,000 on a bottle of 1990 Romanée-Conti? For some, fine wine is an incredible investment.

Beyond the drink, a bottle's label can represent culture and history, particularly when it comes to wines from Burgundy, France.

With millions of dollars spent on fine wine every year, it was only a matter of time until someone took advantage of this lucrative industry.

Jerry Rothwell is a British documentarian best known for the award-winning film, How to Change the World. Reuben Atlas is a director and producer.

In their 2016 documentary Sour Grapes, Rothwell and Atlas investigate the story of Rudy Kurniawan, a man who sold counterfeit wine for millions of dollars.

The documentary won the Audience Award and Golden Tine Award for best documentary and continues to serve as a warning to wine enthusiasts worldwide.
