“May we have straws, please?”
“Yes. I expected that.”

Classic! What is your favorite movie wine scene?

Dan Perlman countered with this great one on Facebook: Vincent Price and Peter Lorre in the wine-tasting scene from Tales of Terror. A must for wine geeks!

Not movies, and these have likely made the rounds before:

Benny Hill as Sommelier

And folks have seen the Orson Wells outtakes, I think The Midnight Show Additional Outtakes is spot on.

Keith, never saw the Benny Hill one before. FUN!

Great clips.
On handheld, so no links, but as Benny Hill was introduced there are several good wine scenes in Fawlty Towers
"I can certainly see that you know your wine. Most of the guests who stay here wouldn’t know the difference between Bordeaux and Claret."

Less funny version but classic of same quip in Diamonds are Forever, as Bond unmasks the assasins

In line with the clip from Tales of Terror with Vincent Price and Peter Lorre, here’s a “modern” version from the TV show Frazier- “Hail Cork Master!”
