From the very early days of cinema to the latest releases, the use and misuse of alcohol has featured regularly. To accompany the new French romcom ‘La Dégustation’ (‘The Tasting’), a talk will sample the films that place alcohol at the centre of the narrative, either as the luxury tipple of choice, or the demon drink.
Former drinks trade journalist Sandy Guthrie will provide a cocktail of clips to show how wine, beer and spirits can fuel a story or act as a metaphor in films from around the world, whether historical films or contemporary dramas and comedies.
Whether it is ‘Whisky Galore!’ or a tale from the vineyards of France, this tasting session will provide a few surprises, some classic vintage films and almost certainly leave the audience pining for a glass of something or other.
100m inc Q&A followed by short Wine Tasting

As a very special event, in partnership with New Park’s new Brighton-based Vegan wine supplier Seven Cellars, we are delighted to present a short red and white wine tasting event in the New Park Bar after the Talk! And this is all included in the regular ticket price! Bargain!
