Did you know China is in the midst of ‘wine-mania’? This intriguing revelation and more are discovered in Red Obsession, an informative love letter to the wine known as Bordeaux. Starting in the, Bordeaux region of France, this documentary explores its origins and how through careful cultivation and artistry this deep red wine became one of the most appreciated in the world. Considered by some to be ‘a work of art you can drink’, the Bordeaux market is shown revealing a wine that became a status symbol for the wealthy, causing prices for prized bottles to reach into the stratosphere. But alas, a bubble must burst, which it did during the 2008 economic collapse. This is where China comes in, and a new market is born. Red Obsession is a fascinating look at how a delicious beverage can become a priceless commodity.
