Spirit of New Wine
Man has been making wine for thousands of years. Its origins are deeply rooted in Western culture. Yet despite our familiarity with the beverage, there is something mysterious about wine that makes it unique. What intangible elements does wine present that remind us of our own invisible nature? Join Spanish journalist Denise Ingrid Brickel in The Spirit of New Wine, an unconventional, atypical documentary that takes viewers on a fascinating journey to the heart of California's wine country. The documentary focuses less on the taste and types of wine, and more on wine's association with cuisine, health, art, nature, friendship, leisure, love, and lifestyle. Without promoting any particular faith or philosophy, The Spirit of New Wine is a completely secular production that highlights individual and collective human values related to the symbolism of wine. The third and final episode, New Wine, provides an entertaining, easy to understand look at the profound meaning of wine in different world religions. The Spirit of New Wine contains breathtaking landscapes, 13 original songs and dozens of interviews with vintners, winemakers and wine lovers, each of whom adds to the kaleidoscope of perspectives on the importance and meaning of wine.
