The Talented Mr. Ripley
Never touch my wine.
Luc, French Kiss (1995)
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some broad beans and a good Chianti.
Hannibal, Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Alcohol, the cause and solution of all problems.
Homer Simpson, The Simpson
I'm drinking wine... and eating chicken! And it's fantastic!
Dracula, Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
This is a very old wine. I hope you like it.
Conte Dracula, Dracula (1931)
Oh delicious delight and enchantment. It was pleasure displeased and become flesh. Like feathers of a rare foamed metal, or like silver wine poured into a spaceship. Goodbye, gravity, while I was sliding... what enchanting visions!
Alex, Arancia Meccanica (1971)
Oh, we could give it a try. I'll bring the wine, you bring your scarred psyche.
Chase, Batman Forever (1995)
If anyone orders Merlot, I'm gone. I won't drink any heck of Merlot!
Miles, Sideways (2004)
I love that wine continues to evolve. That if I open a bottle today it will taste different than if I opened it another day. Because a bottle of wine is something that has life. And it is constantly evolving and gaining complexity, until it reaches its peak. Like your Cheval Blanc. And then its slow, inexorable decline begins. And what a flavor... damn, it tastes good!
Maya, Sideways (2004)
Maggie: But it could be vinegar! I mean, old wine often turns into vinegar. Oliver: Well then, we either have a wonderful glass of wine, or a really expensive salad.
Maggie and Oliver, Year of the Comet (1992)
Now, a clever man would have put poison in his own cup, because he would have known that only a great fool would take what was given to him. I'm not a big fool, so I can certainly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known that I'm not a big fool, you would have counted on it, so I can certainly not choose the wine in front of me...
Vizzini, The Princess Bride (1987)
Oh, actually all champagne is French, named after the region. Otherwise it is white sparkling wine. Americans do not recognize this convention, so they call all their white sparkling wines champagne, even though by definition they are not.
Benjamin Kane, Wayne's World (1992)
He's not from Napa. I can't tell you if it's a merlot or a cabernet. ... I can't tell you because it's a 1947 Cheval Blanc. About half merlot, the other half cabernet.
Gustavo, Bottle Shock (2008)
I can certainly see that you know your wine. Most guests staying here wouldn't know the difference between Bordeaux and Claret.
Basil Fawlty, "Fawlty Towers"
My dear girl, there are some things that just have to be done, like drinking '53 Dom Perignon above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. This is as bad as listening to the Beatles without headphones!
James Bond, Goldfinger (1964)
“I hope you will excuse me if I don’t join you but I have already had dinner and I never drink… wine.” (Dracula)
“Wine is like people… the vineyard collects the influences of life around it which absorbs it and thus… and thus acquires its personality.” (French Kiss)
“To the alcohol! The cause of and solution to all of life’s problems…”
(Homer Simpson)
“Someone who was taking a census once tried to question me, I ate his liver with a nice plate of broad beans and good Chianti…” (Hannibal Lecter)
