Celebrity wine advice, circa 1990 #video

“No one, but NO ONE puts ice in red wine!”

Such is the gist of the opening scene of a mostly tongue-in-cheek video about wine from 1990, “The Celebrity Guide to Wine,” chock full of 80s stars including Steven Seagal, Dudley Moore, Herbie Hancock, Whoopi Goldberg and more. It’s the brainchild of Bernard Erpicum, who was at Spago at the time.

Thanks to our friends at Eater for digging up this gem! A blog at the SF Chronicle picked up the item and posted screenshots to help navigate the 55-minute show with alacrity; the money scene is definitely Kelley LeBrock demonstrating to Steven Seagal how to open a wine bottle–between her legs. But then she doesn’t hold the glass by the stem! What kind of instructional video is this?!?

  1. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen!!


  2. I thought it was nicely done. Shelly Hack used to promote Charlie (perfume) which was my mother’s favorite.


  3. We recently are are drinking red wine at the right temperature. I always liked to drink anything when it was ice cold. It took some time to get used to it, but drinking it warm it awesome!
