Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This film single-handedly crashed merlot sales and skyrocketed pinot noir demand. The 'Sideways Effect' is still studied in wine economics courses.

Trivia

The famous 'I am not drinking any fucking merlot!' line was improvised by Paul Giamatti. Director Alexander Payne kept it because it perfectly captured Miles' pretentious vulnerability.
