Film row over French wine-tasting debacle

"The producers of two rival Hollywood films are locked in a nose-to-nose row over an infamous Paris wine-tasting event which embarrassed France's top experts, a report said Wednesday.

A British merchant who organized the 1976 blind tasting -- in which French experts hailed Californian wines over some of France's finest vintages -- is caught up in the middle of the dispute, according to the Guardian daily."
