It Took Me Five Years to Get the Joke

Inevitably at wine class, the movie "Sideways" has surfaced a few times. (We saw it at the closing night of the New York Film Festival in 2004; Avery Fisher Hall is not a great place to see a movie, but we had a swell night ... and the director and cast were there.) Miles (Paul Giamatti) is memorable for his anti-merlot rant, and also for the scene where he gulps his prize bottle, a 1961 Cheval Blanc, from a Styrofoam cup while murdering a burger.
Well -- I discovered that the Cheval Blanc is 33 percent merlot! I wonder if there is a wine dorks' equivalent of Trivial Pursuit, because that could make a great question.
Now I can't wait to see the Japanese remake of the movie.
