@kpunk Actually, Merlot sales DID take a dip after this movie came out. Check out the movie's FAQ section at IMDB. I'm more of a beer guy, but I LOVE this film!
When in the movie is it revealed that he used to drink Merlot with Victoria? I take his comment as his thinking AMERICAN Merlot sucks (freedomland11 is correct (in part)). Interestingly, and the reason I say "American" Merlot (and that freedomland11 is only correct in part) is the fantastic bit of irony that few pick up on: Miles's prized bottle of 1961 Cheval Blanc is made of about half Merlot (the other half being Cabernet Franc).
I love how the tools that are so open to suggestion they'll do anything they hear or see in a movie stopped buying Merlot after this movie. National Merlot sales dropped. It wasn't that Miles didn't like Merlot, and he didn't think it was a bad wine. Miles and Victoria used to drink Merlot together, so he didn't want to have anything that would remind him of his ex-wife. But the idiots thought Pinot was better than Merlot, and Merlot sales went down while Pinot went up after this film LMAO!
@AlexanderRozhenko that's the subconscious mind working my friend. When people go out to buy some wine they aren't really thinking 'Miles hated this wine in Sideways, so i'm not buying it.' The just 'intuitively' not choose Merlot.
The sequel to "Sideways," entitled "Vertical" by the original author, Rex Pickett, is now out. Please smash a glass of merlot in your fireplace, and say, "I'm not drinking any fucking merlot!," and vote here if you want to Giamatti, Hayden Church, and Madsen to be in the movie version.
the irony of this scene is that the prized bottle of cheval blanc miles keeps for his anniversary, the one he drinks out of a Styrofoam cup, is actually a blend of merlot and cab franc grapes. i have always found it hilarious that sales of pinot noir shot up nearly 20% after this movie and merlot sales dropped because of it.
Love this scene and think about it a lot. Just thought I'd see if it is here and YES! It is because you put it up .Thanks. My husband once told me while I was drinking a glass of merlot that he thought it tasted soapy. I still can't drink it to this day.

@skateposeur12 I found this clip on the internet. I didn't take the fucking cussing out thats the way it was. So why don't you just watch the god damn clip and leave your snide fucking comment to yourself. there..now you have some mother fucking cussing to enjoy while you watch the clip. Fucking Hell!
@beck976 Verdammt!!! Scheiße!! Hölle!! Ich liebe es!! Great job, that's putting the asshole in line. BTW good work with the clip, I love this film. Danke.
@beck976 hahaha! dude, were you drinking merlot when you replied to skateposeur? did you remember your xanax?
on a different note: paul giamatti is funny as hell when he gets mad. probably what made his career (along with him being a damn good actor as well, of course).
best movie ever

For those who don't get the scene. Merlot is a low class wine, that wine connoisseurs despise!!!

The same reason theres a negative attitude about Busch and Budweiser. They're generic and they taste like shit.
