I just checked it out. In all honesty, I think it has a great color set, meaning your clothing is neutral enough not to distract from what you're talking about or the rest of the scenery. So kudos for that. Not many people think about the color of the set and wardrobe. The sound was really nice, but it lacked a bit of music that could have been played in the back ground to give the listener a sense of being in Italy, France, Germany, etc. I would suggest a very light viola and possibly an upright bass at a very light and barely noticeable volume. This will cover any flaws in the sound while you're speaking. The third thing I'd like to mention and what would make this a crappy video if I didn't just imagine it as being a recap of a previous show is, the edits are too abrupt. You're explaining something and then it gets cut before you've finished your last syllable. So it felt like a rushed "cliff notes" version of what I should have seen.
Overall, I learned something about the opening of wine, which I've only done once in my life (and I'm not talking about Boonesfarm here). And that's the most important thing.
Very good and forceful presentation of the material. I agree with the other comment... a musical background would have given it more "body" (I do not know "why" but the theme from TITANIC kept popping in my head)All in all a very good piece which could be easily (I think) converted to a CD format and mailed to many wine stores for their use. dee
just like when i go to a house i have not entered since child hood and marvel at how small it is vs. what i remember...its just as trippy seeing the adult jacob being all serious...its like i am waiting for you to bust out with the joke...
Great job. The video did teach me things I didn't know. I do agree with Sirel, the fade outs/cuts could've been smoother, instead of so abrupt. I also agree that a nice, soft background music would add to the overall "fanciness of a wine video.":) Maybe a piece by a composer from the same country that the wine you are discussing is from.

Well done.

Very good! Question: I have seen people open the wine thru the wrapper to the cork -- is this bad??

Hi Caro, it's OK to pull the cork out of a bottle by going through the foil, but what's the rush? It doesn't look as tidy, either. Thanks, Jacob
great info! Thanks, you learn something new everyday.
And to think, I've been chugging wine straight out of the bottle before now.
