I was
watching a French film on Sky last night, called ‘The Big Picture.’ When the
main character produced a bottle of wine for his soon to be divorced (he
murdered her lover) wife, he made quite a play of the fact that it came from
New Zealand. The wine turned out to be CLOUDY BAY (I loved the way he pronounced
it. I doubt I would have recognised it if it hadn’t been for the sub-titles).
His wife noticed the screw-top but once she tried it she pronounced that it was
pretty good. The main character later brought two cases of the wine to take to
a disastrous dinner party, but the wine featured yet again. One wonders if
Cloudy Bay had to pay for such publicity. If they didn’t then they should send
a few boxes to the film makers. What wonderful publicity. The film was made in
2010. We know CB is a good wine and it is good to know that many countries now
acknowledge this. Now All I need is for my books to feature in a few films and
I shall be happy!
