Somm: Into the Bottle

So following on from the successful 'Somm' (a great documentary following 4 young men revising for their Master Sommelier exams), director Jason Wise has bought out a new documentary, delving further into the industry and about how wine is made.

I thought Somm: Into the Bottle was enjoyable enough, but didn't have the likeability factor of the first film. I wonder if it would have been better as a mini series - maybe over 6 episodes? I just felt it tried to cram too much into too short a space of time, and didn't have the focus or clarity of the first film.

Somm focused on 4 people with interviews with many others interspersed throughout. Whereas Into the Bottle, didn't really have that central narrative, and was more just a collection of interviews (although they were themed).

Still - it's worth a look and free on Netflix at the moment, so get watching...
