Pinot Noir: The New Zealand Story by John Saker

Pinot Noir is a phenomenon—a global cult has developed around it over the last couple of decades—perhaps because its personality is hard to pin down. Often described as an iron fist in a velvet glove, its contradictions evoke a great deal of discussion, debate and passion. Cult membership rose steeply in the wake of the hit movie sideways, released in 2004. The obsession of the film’s hopelessly Pinot-struck leading male, Miles, rubbed off on cinemas audiences everywhere, inducing an upward swing in demand that came to be known as the “Sideways effect. ” AC Nielsen reported that, in the US alone, sales of Pinot Noir rose 45 percent during the year following the film’s release.
