Does anybody have any recommendations for TV-shows/documentaries about wine, preferably available somewhere online?
Me and a friend have recently watched BBC's "Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure" which is not all that serious but entertaining enough, and looking for something new now.

Somm is on Netflix right now. It's about a half dozen guys who are studying to take the Master Sommelier test. It's pretty insane how talented these guys are. Not only do they have to be blessed with genetics for an amazing sense of smell, they have to nurture that talent to an insane degree by smelling and tasting not only a zillion different wines but also random poo poo like rocks and moss and bruised or unripe fruits in order to be able to identify the weirdest tastes that might be coming up in a random wine. A Master is supposed to be able to taste a wine and identify the country, the year of production, the region and even the local valley in which it was made.

No alcohol involved, but a similar level of incompetence: The Boston Molasses Disaster killed 21 and injured 150.

I think the molasses was being used in alcohol production and they were trying to sell it all before prohibition kicked in
