The Wine Industry Embraces a Classic Meme

 

Winos everywhere have been huddling in their cellars this week to watch the latest iteration of a meme known as “Downfall” or “Hitler Reacts,” which is based on a pinnacle scene in Der Untergang (2004), a German WWII drama.

The bloggers over at Red to Brown Wine Review uploaded a wine-centric spoof this week, as a reaction to legendary wine critic Robert Parker’s announcement that he would no longer be covering California, in order to focus solely on Bordeaux and the Rhone.

The parody illustrates how “one Californian winery was not particularly happy with this news.”

Check out the video embedded above to share in on the giggles and belly laughs that have thus far only been heard behind cellar walls.
