Sour Grapes is the story of the world’s greatest wine fraud and how an Indonesian immigrant fooled the international wine world, making millions of dollars from fake vintage Burgundy created in his Los Angeles suburban home. Sour Grapes follows the journey of a Bourgogne vigneron turned wine detective, Laurent Ponsot, as he tracks down the evidence he needs to bring to court the mysterious fraudster who has counterfeited his wines. Rudy Kurniawan fooled hundreds in the wine trade for many years, inflating wine prices, and puncturing the pretensions of an affluent elite. His genius was that he had discovered a crime which played on the hubris of his times, flooding a susceptible market with counterfeits that still lie undetected in cellars across the world.
