  Dry, but fruity, and long on the palate
  
  Mondovino is an extraordinary documentary. It's self-indulgent, quirky, opinionated and overlong, but it's likely to be indespensible, because it's ... read more »

  mondo di vino non divino
  
  this film takes an interesting and sometimes controversial look at the business of wine making. The informal documentary style is informative and humourous.

  McMondavi or just sour grapes?

  A long, dull, pale thing
  
  I suppose that Nossiter's even-handedness is refreshing, even if it slightly mendacious, but, my word, it makes for dull viewing. He would like us to ... read more »

  Rubbish
  
  Absolute rubbish! No structure and no worthwhile content. Poor sound and held camera work. After a few minutes and a couple of skips forward I gave up.

  So you think you know about wine?
  
  Watch this and perhaps you'll re-think... Hugely entertaining documentary on conflicts and rivalries in the world of wine. Fascinating stuff.

  Anti globalisation thesis dressed as objectivity
  
  In essence, this film is a critique of the makers and admirers of, en vogue, richly coloured and flavoured wines which are, arguably fairly generic in style.read more »

  A touching, biting and enlightening documentary
  
  I was compelled to write this because of the previous misrepresentation of Mondovino’s approach and scope. It is not an anti-globalisation movie and it ... read more »

  A long film, but that's needed to do this subject justice. It's basically dealing with the standardisation of wine around the world. It felt a little ... read more »

  Why the hand held camera?
  
  Most of the content in this was interesting, although it does seem to be an advert for 'Buy Local'.

  Let Down Badly
  
  What could have been a beautiful documentary was let down badly by haphazard camera work. A crying shame.
