Lest They Think The Wine Industry Is Elitist or Stuffy.

As a service to readers of FERMENTATION and as a diversion from more recent political intensities here, we reach to the Department of Funny for today's post.

The View Winery in the Okanagan Valley joins a number of other wineries, including Judd's Hill and Roshambo, who produced short format videos that have made their way into the digital pages of FERMENTATION simply because they are funny and I have a weakness for "funny".

However, none of these wineries made the videos with the hopes to getting the attention of a lowly wine blogger. I like to think they all turned a humorous eye on themselves and the wine industry as a service to the industry itself, lest the wine industry's occasional occasional forays into over-seriousness give consumers the impression wine might be stuffy, appear too self important, consider itself only for the elite and too often leave a trail of snootiness.

Thank you, The View Winery.

    I object to seeing real wine be inhumanely treated during the filming of this movie! 🙂

    They should change their name to The Red Stilleto Winery

    Surprised they didn’t drink off the shoe like they do in Russia ;). Nice video!

    Great video. If you check out the “about” page on the winery you learn that the woman in the leading role of this video is the president of the winery, and the shoe is on their label and it was her shoe.
    First time visit to your blog. Won’t be the last.
