History

In the illustrious annals of wine-soaked history, one particular year gleams with significance: 2008. It was a time when laughter danced on the breeze, and the bonds of camaraderie were as rich as the finest Bordeaux. And at the heart of this vinous renaissance? A cinematic gem that sparked a revolution—none other than “Sideways.”

As I reclined with a glass of fine Pinot in hand, watching Paul Giamatti’s Miles declare, “I am not drinking any f*cking Merlot!”, it was as though destiny whispered in my ear, and WineFrat was conceived.

But joining WineFrat isn’t just about savoring a fine vintage (though that’s certainly a perk). No, to truly become part of this esteemed brotherhood (and sisterhood), one must pay homage to the film that uncorked it all.

Yes, watching “Sideways” isn’t merely suggested; it’s practically a sacrament. And not just watching it casually, but perhaps committing soliloquies to memory until they flow as effortlessly as a decanting. Whether it’s Miles’ poignant “I am not drinking any f*cking Merlot!” or Jack’s exuberant “I’m in the mood to drink!”, every WineFrat member must have a favorite line at their disposal.

And what of attire, you ask? Fear not, for WineFrat merchandise is at hand—shirts, hoodies, hats, all adorned with the illustrious logo. For nothing proclaims “wine-loving brotherhood (and sisterhood)” quite like a group of friends clad in matching WineFrat garb at the local vineyard.

But for those with a pioneering spirit, why stop there? Why not raise a glass and establish your very own WineFrat chapter? Rally your oenophile companions, procure matching attire, and prepare to embark on a journey overflowing with unforgettable experiences. For in the realm of wine, camaraderie, and good times, there’s no fraternity quite like WineFrat. Here’s to raising a glass to that!
