The Apple TV+ show brings family dysfunction and high stakes into the world of wine tasting.
The 2023 TV adaptation is equally compelling. The story is told in Japanese, French, and English, depending on where the scene takes place. The deceased Leger gives both Camille and Issei a month to correctly identify the wine, so Camille travels from her dad’s home in Tokyo to a vineyard in France, where the focus shifts to her crash-course in wine education.

manages to make something as seemingly dry and boring as oenology into a high-stakes, exciting drama. Here, intermingling the pursuit of wine perfection with familial expectation and the scars of childhood makes for one hell of a story. And at the very least, even if these eight sophisticated and subdued episodes won’t turn you into an actual wine expert , you’ll definitely pick up a few wine phrases that will impress your friends at dinner.
