Review
Four sommeliers attempt to pass the prestigious Master Sommelier exam, a test with one of the lowest pass rates in the world.
The documentary follows them step by step as they prepare and study together, meticulously, for many months, at the expense of their normal lives, their loved ones and their emotional balance.
The test is ruthless, both theory and practice (a blind tasting) demand superhuman qualities, memory, and not a little luck.
In the end, those who pass join a club of only some 200 people who ever passed the test and are catapulted to the top of the wine world.
