Sour Grapes investigates an embarrassing scandal that rocked the world of high-end wine collectors and left as many as 40,000 fake bottles circulating in their milieu. It approaches the stunningly expansive scam as a real-life comic mystery fit for Hercule Poirot. Those already interested in the machinations of the wine biz will be fascinated by this documentary by Jerry Rothwell and Reuben Atlas, although such rarefied tastes are hardly a prerequisite to appreciate this highly entertaining stranger-than-fiction saga.
