It's highly entertaining watching this modern day "odd couple" traipse around the vineyards of France during the summer of 2006. Respected wine "expert" Oz Clarke is attempting to educate enthusiastic wine consumer James May. The constant bickering and arguments (usually centred on Clarke's frustrations with May getting tanked at every opportunity) make for great viewing.
Along the way Clarke does well to impart a great deal of wine knowledge which is actually useful.
Well worth a watch, whether you're looking for some light entertainment, or an easy introduction to the complexities of French wine making.

A very funny and highly entertaining program of well known wine expert
OZ Clarke and Jmaes May known form Top Gear, who together travels on a
wine adventure. James knows nothing about wine, but have chosen the car
for the adventure (of course an English jaguar) and is like a rebel
boarder school boy taught by the slightly older and more distinguished
Oz Clarke, who continuously tries to learn James about the different
wines and the impressions they make. It all turns into a lot of very
entertaining and very funny situations, filled with humour, and there
is a lot to learn and view, both from the more experienced and newcomer
to wine tasting, on this fantastic wine adventure filled taste -and
sense impressions.

I haven't laughed so much in a long time. James is hilarious as the normal bloke to Oz's wine snob, basically getting drunk at every available opportunity. If you ever looked at someone spitting out the wine during a tasting and thought "what a waste" you'll appreciate the humour. Personally I love wine and I love James May, so can't say I'm an impartial judge, but I'd defiantly recommend it to my friends.

Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure
Great fun and educational, even for wine buffs like myself. Makes you want to follow in their footsteps.

A great idea but mixed results
Some of this series is excellent but for most of the first few episodes James May's oafish and offensive behaviour was truly cringe-making. Read more

Pleasently surprisingly funny
While i can see where the reviewer saying its just "Sideways" the tv series is coming from, i find this program far more entertaing than that film. Read more

Entertaining-ish and informative-like.
It took a colossal amount of doing on my part to get this DVD here in America, to say nothing of getting it to play properly. Read more

Oz & James's Big Wine Adventure
Oz the wine buff allegedly met James the beer drinker in a pub and the result was a month long trip around France to teach James all about wine. It's a great job that they did. Read more

Ball Bouncingly Funny.
I missed this programme when it was on TV, so decided to buy the DVD, purely because I know how ball bouncingly funny James May can be. It was worth every penny. Read more
