RED OBSESSION, the documentary about wine in China and the changing global market as it is connected to the Chinese economy, is shared with BYOD by director Warwick Ross. The economic boom of China, faking fine wine through knock-offs and old bottles, and the fascination with French wine is discussed with clips and the trailer from RED OBSESSION. With history’s greatest economic growth as the background, it’s a tasty and informative look at the movie shared with BYOD and host Ondi Timoner.
