A Walk in the Clouds stars Keanu Reeves as a World War II veteran who returns home to find that his wife has left him. He meets a beautiful woman (played by Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) who is pregnant and needs help getting home.
It’s a bit of a stretch to call this a movie about wine, but anything with Keanu Reeves is worth watching in my book, and they do stop at a vineyard where he worked as a kid at one point in their travels, so I’m counting it.

Wine Country follows a group of friends who go to Napa Valley for a wine-tasting weekend. The movie stars comedy greats Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, and Maya Rudolph.
If you love wine and you love to laugh, this is the movie for you.

This is a Netflix movie and can be found on the streaming service.
9. SOMM
This documentary follows four candidates as they prepare for the Master Sommelier Exam. The exam is one of the most difficult exams in the world, and less than 10% of those who take it pass.
