【中字/網絡史學家】如何變得上流 葡萄酒篇 Part2

brought to you by INCOGNI 我們完成了劇院,我們完成了繪畫,我們完成了酒 現在是時候來做一些飲料的事情 首先,讓我們學習世界上的飲料文化 歡迎來到我的私人船艙 來吧,小子,我有很多東西要教你 世界上的 我們必須學習所有的飲料習慣 所有的有趣的外國地方 先從飲料的出發點開始 阿克的國家 技巧是在你碰到地面之前跳躍 觀察在他們的自然生態中的英國人 他們在這裡舉行一種叫做乾杯的活動 他們在喝酒之前會把杯子合起來 這個傳統已經有幾十年歷史了 但為什麼他們開始做這個活動的起源 是有點不明顯的 但是我們有幾個理論 理論一,毒品 是的,所以想像一個這樣的情況 兩個不相信對方的人 在酒吧裡坐在一起 這個人就對另一個人的飲料做了一些壞事 來吧 你毒了我的飲料嗎? 我?我絕對不會 那麼我會把我的倒進你的 然後你可以把你的倒進我的 然後我們會完全沒事 或者完全死掉 不,不,不需要這樣 所以這是最初的版本 然後他們也短暫地說了 是的,我相信你 但是這可能是一個謊言 所以理論二,鬼 在中世紀 人們擔心鬼魂和靈魂 所以他們很大聲地歡呼 來嚇走那些鬼魂 也有時候你會把你的飲料 倒在桌子和地上 然後就像是一個小禮物 給靈魂 但這也許不是真的 最有可能的答案 就是大家喜歡這個聲音 啊,非常滿足 還有 你知道當某人掉了一杯 然後大家就很安靜 你這個笨蛋 在英國,大家會 在慶典上歡呼 這是一個方法 可以讓你覺得樂觀,但也不難 啊啊 BBC 他們現在有一個整個組織 我們得離開這裡 我們帶我的私人船來 來,來,來,來到意大利 他們拍了一個馬爾地奧電影 讓我放在這裡 這是真實的 來到這個 抬頭的披薩塔 Held up by the raw strength of a thousand tourists posing for photographs But did you know that Italians, when they say cheers, say chin chin Now that is very funny to the Japanese Because in Japanese, chin chin means penis Germany next Now here they do Brüderschaft Where you link your arms together when drinking It's also kind of seen all over the world at weddings in particular But only the Germans have a name for it It symbolizes the end of formalities between two people But the Germans have a lot more Now when you clink glasses together with someone You have to look them directly in the eye And if you don't do it You will be cursed with seven years of bad sex apparently It's not my fault, it's the Germans Then when doing shots in Germany They sometimes also go Zermit and you hold the glass near your belly Zertit and you hold it near your chest And then zamsack and you hold it near your, you know And then zack zack and you drink Now on to Finland They keep it casual They have a custom specifically for drinking alone You're supposed to do it while loafing around in your underpants And it's called kalsarikani Also known as underwear drunk All right, that's all I could find on Finland So off to Canada To get there I booked us a private fishing trawler It's so exclusive that even these fish Yes, they go to a private school In Newfoundland, Canada They have the Newfoundland screech You take a shot of screech And then you do the screech It goes like this Is you a screecher And then you answer like this I am the old cock And long may your big jib draw That's it It's a pirate culture Then they take a big fish Usually a cod And they kiss it on the lips Anyway, I'm kind of busy So there's no more customs anywhere in the world You can do some more Maybe independent research yourself I'll see you back in Finland Okay, this next section is on cocktails So it all started when we made this asset Where the IH character He's shaking a cocktail at a frat party And I turned to the editor and I went Wait a minute, that's a weird word Why are they called cocktails? And we started Googling it And we kind of went down a rabbit hole And it was actually really interesting So here it is Cocktails In the 1700s, fuel prices were outrageous So everybody used the horse Now, horses weren't just used for travel They were also used for work in the fields So you would sometimes put a harness on a horse For plowing a field, right? Now, when you do that Its tail actually gets in the way And so we have to do something about that thing Think of it like the foreskin of the horse You put it in the guillotine And everybody closes their eyes Problem solved Now, this practice is called docking It has a different meaning these days So once the tail is docked Some say it's much easier to clean But it also kind of looks like a chicken's tail, right? Hence, they would call these tails cocktails So that's step one in the story Step two You've also got horse merchants, right? And they are a very shrewd bunch They know that when they sell their horses The customer wants very feisty and energetic animals Someone who's buying a horse Doesn't want one that's kind of sickly Or lazy or sleeping all the time, right? They need it for work So how do you ensure then That your horse looks full of beans And moxie and some other stuff And has the maximum horse power possible When it's time to sell? Well, they would use this one quick hack All the equestrians hate him They would go over to their mortar and pestle And they would throw in some chili Some ginger and a few other spices And just mix it all together Then they would go over to the horse Hold still, little fella And with the mixture go up into the no-no area Now, the horse doesn't like that very much So it's kicking It's going mad And the bidders are all going Wow, this is a really great horse It's got some spunk, I tell you I'm buying it So the horse merchants made a whole bunch of money And everyone was happy Well, almost everyone The end of step two Now step three Around the same time You've got bartenders over in the saloon And they have just invented the science of mixology They've realized that you can add Red Bull And lemon juice to stuff And actually make alcohol not taste so bad But when they added some ginger and spices And maybe a little bit of pepper People went, oh, I know these These are those horse suppositories Cocktails, we'll call them Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug And the name stuck Do you think it's too early for ad time?

It's all over social media Wine mixed with watermelon A combination when mixed together makes a deadly poison Here we are in Argentina With a delicious watermelon Now let me chase it down with a glass of Wine? Ok, it's not true But it's been a myth in South America For over a hundred years That you should never pair wine and watermelon together No one quite knows why But we dug and we dug And we were able to find a single source From an author Facundo de Genova And he says in probably Argentina Probably sometime in the 1800s There was a small Catholic church And everything was great For a time They grew wine for dinner And watermelon for dessert Until one day Something bad happened in their idyllic little town A few men in the village started getting a bit Grabby It was a whole Me Too thing But it was the first Me Too It was a Me One No one quite knows who did what to whom But it was a big scandal, I tell you And it kept happening Oh no, what's happening to our beautiful village? They said in their funny foreign accents Now, presiding over the village was a monastery So the priests all gathered together at this monastery To figure out what the hell's going on with all this grabbiness Yeah, this town sucks now Said the womenfolk I hope you have other plan to fix this Yes, of course we do But first, we must figure out Why the men are becoming so grabby Come on guys, think outside the box We have to find something, anything to blame Except the people who actually did the thing So the priests began looking at the diets Of the people in the village Hmm, the priests said aloud One of the monks proposed a theory Have you noticed that we grow a lot of grapes here? Yes And have you noticed that we also grow a lot of watermelon? Yeah Well, what if You know, somehow it makes the menfolk grabby That must be it We must put a stop to this But how? Well, let's tell them that if they drink wine and eat watermelon They'll go to hell Okay So that's what they did Hear ye, hear ye Do not drink wine and then eat watermelon You'll go to hell Really? I don't know that Really? And it worked The assaults suddenly stopped Hurrah Although whether that was a coincidence We don't actually know Over time, however The messaging kind of evolved Because Don't mix wine with watermelon Isn't exactly a well-known Bible proverb And people became less religious So instead of You'll go to hell The line changed to It's poison and you'll die And in Argentina In some places The myth still perpetuates Now, is there actually any evidence at all That pairing wine and watermelon together Really causes the mood Kinda Watermelon contains an amino acid Arginine Which partially transforms into nitric oxide And then nitric oxide is a vasodilator And vasodilators Do this Plus, wine also has polyphenols And that also helps in the formation of nitric oxide So Double this But the effect from nitric oxide is actually very mild Also all of these foods have polyphenols and arginine in them as well So pretty much everything has it So, no The effects are likely hugely overstated So The moral of the story is This next section is on wine in the Bible Sort of Apologies if we got any details wrong We mostly kept this section Because we liked the pun on Eucharist Jumping forward to Jesus This is his first recorded miracle So, Jesus and a whole bunch of his followers and stuff They are invited to a wedding in Cana Now the waiter goes over to serve some guests some wine And Uh oh It's empty What do you mean it's empty There's no more wine No wait, I've got a plan Says Jesus Bring me six big stone jugs About 20 to 30 gallons each And fill them up to the brim with H2O Now check out this And he does the finger thing And then when they went to pour the water Suddenly it was wine And it was the best wine that anyone had ever had And they go That's pretty good Jesus But have you got any other miracles And he says yes Come on, we're going to do a supper Now everyone is gathered around And this is the point at which Jesus reveals By the way One of you is very sus I know one of you will betray me And he looks at Judas And Judas is kind of looking away But then Da Vinci is like Guys, I need you to stay still for the painting So Jesus goes Watch this And he takes some bread and wine And he says Look at this bread This is my flesh And everyone is kind of like Really And he goes Well, yeah I mean If you're Protestant Then just metaphorically No, no, okay Look at this wine It is my blood Really Quit making this so complicated Here, have some So he hands it to his disciples And they went fantastic I was peckish and thirsty And he goes yes In fact I shall call this little celebration A Eucharist or Holy Communion It will be the practice of eating one cracker Or a piece of bread And drinking some wine And if you eat the whole thing And drink the whole bottle That's called a huge crest Now most Christians today Take that as a symbolic thing Unless you are Catholic Now they believe in What's called transubstantiation Which means that the bread and wine Literally turns into the body and blood Of Jesus at the moment That they are consumed However, it does still look like Bread and wine And they call that phenomenon Appearance or accident It has changed But you just can't tell Except for sometimes When you actually can La Ciano Italy In the 8th century There is a monk And he has been on r slash atheism For far too long He is starting to have doubts About the blood and wine stuff But he still has His monkly responsibilities So he holds mass And he says the words of consecration This is my body This is my blood This is my rifle This is my gun And at that very moment The bread turns into Literal flesh in his hands And the wine turns to blood Jesus man Holy shit said everybody In unison And ironically he went Oh well I should probably Not eat this then So instead He kept it in this Cellos thing What is it? A clock? Anyway there it remains still today Kept in the church of San Francesco And now a couple of years later In the 1970s Professor Odaro Leone Decides let me do a bit of an experiment So he took a sample of the flesh And he came to the conclusion That it was indeed real Apparently it was part of a heart valve And that the blood type was AB The sample has not been analyzed since However it is officially recognized By the Roman Catholic Church Here ends the reading Now you might say Wow that section really doesn't have A whole lot to do with wine And in fact You're just badly retelling a bible story This final section we started making For the main channel When we found this massive court document And we thought holy shit This is a hell of a story And we had all these ideas Of it being like witcher themed And so there were quite a few Like random witcher assets Just ignore that But it just kept blooming And blooming into this bigger story And it got too long And so here it is on incognito And here we begin in 1743 The birth of Thomas Jefferson Push Mrs. Jefferson push Now Tom Jeff He was involved with some politics Kinda sexy But you're too late he's dead But what's more important Is he tried his hand At a lot of different hobbies Architecture He designed his own home in Monticello He played the violin He kept mockingbirds He collected fossils And most relevant of all He hoarded a culture In his extensive garden He kept 330 types of vegetables And 170 types of fruit One of those fruits was grapes So he tried his hand at viniculture And while he was good at a lot of things He never saw much success With making wine So he mostly collected the stuff Now people naturally wondered What happened to the wine he made And the wine he collected Did he sell it all Did he give it away Did he attempt the huge caress Fast forward 1985 Meet German music producer Hardy Rodenstock He is an avid wine collector And he's tapping on the walls Of old buildings in Paris Looking for some national treasures On this occasion The wall opened and my God Sealed behind He said that he found a collection of 24 bottles Dating all the way back to the 1780s And look at that THJ engraved right there on the glass Thomas Jefferson It seems like Mr. Rodenstock Has stumbled upon Jeff's hidden collection Mystery solved And it would make sense That they wound up in France Because Jefferson spent A number of years over there Amazing And into Rodenstock's wine collection They went Now Rodenstock's wine collection Was something quite special And he liked to show it off So every year he would host tasting events That featured extremely rare wines And he would invite All the most prominent German celebrities Such as the Hans brothers And Das Boot And Death Stranding Now one of his guests Was a guy named Michael Broadbent The senior director for Christie's auction house Together they cracked open One of the THJ bottles Bottle number one Broadbent said that the wine was delicious Yup, these bottles are in perfect condition He said You should really auction these things I run an auction You should put them in there Huh, maybe I should Said Mr. Rodenstock Maybe I should But before they did that They sold two of the bottles privately Number two and number three And they drank a fourth On the 5th of December 1985 They put up bottle number five For auction at Christie's It was bought by Christopher Forbes For £105,000 Which at the time Meant it was the most expensive Bottle of wine ever sold But that wine wasn't to drink Proudly that thing Sat on the Forbes shelf Eventually to be put Into the Forbes gallery In the exhibit on former presidents And funnily enough They actually put this bottle on display Under big industrial lights And it heated the thing something fierce And the heat ruined Its drinkability of course In fact, so intense was the light That the glass expanded And the cork fell into the bottle Some time passed They celebrated the sale With another drink Bottle number six Now gone And then they sold Two more privately In 1987 They drank bottle number nine 1988 They drank bottle number ten And at this point A new challenger enters the scene The White Wolf of Palm Beach They call him Bill Coke Some say it's short for billionaire He's a member of one of the Wealthiest families in America And he is also One of the world's most Avid collectors of wine So they sell him A total of four bottles For $311,804 We're way over here On the graph at this point So gently Careful, careful now He put them in his Climate-controlled cellar And he would show them off To his friends Otherwise Here they remained For the next 17 years As the years ticked by More bottles were sold And more bottles were consumed Until there were none left 2005 The four Coke bottles Had sat around for a long time On the shelf Doing nothing When Something new happened The Boston Museum of Fine Arts Was interested in Displaying the bottles And wanted to trace The exact provenance So Coke gets on the line With the Jefferson Foundation And he goes Look, I don't mean to brag But I'm about to have My bottles displayed At the Boston Museum But I need just a little bit Of verification Could you tell me Exactly where these bottles Come from And the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Responded I'm afraid we can't do that We don't think they're real Eh? In fact, you're not the only person To call about this What? Yes, it was in the 80s A Mr Broadbent, I believe Of Christie's Auction House Called up trying to verify the bottles So that he could sell them But we looked through Our comprehensive historical records And found no mention of these bottles Here's a letter we sent Saying that we couldn't verify them And they're probably fake But, but, but, but, but, but, but He sold those bottles to me Now, back to 1776 Now here's a thing You should know about Jefferson Let's just say If he was around today He would play a lot of Factorio He was, you know I have the largest collection Of Funko Pops in the world And that meant that his record keeping Was very meticulous All of his anime Was ordered alphabetically And so too Were all the things That he ever purchased Including wine So that's my story, Mr Pepsi And those bottles Are probably fake When Coke hears about this He hangs up the phone And hits speed dial On his pager or something And I need to assemble a team A team of investigators Mr Rodenstock lived in Germany So Coke's investigators Scoured the countryside for clues And eventually they found a lead They managed to track down Five German residents Who claimed to have done engraving work For Rodenstock in the past They said Hey, have you seen these bottles before And they went Oh yeah, we have We did those And all five were certain That the THJ engravings Were done by an electric power tool Every one of these 24 bottles of Jefferson wine Were fake Big fat phonies Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly So Bill takes all of this evidence to court And Rodenstock is summoned But he doesn't show up So Bill wins in absentia And is awarded a million bucks In the end Bill never received any money From Rodenstock But to Bill It was about sending a message More than receiving any money I'm coming after you And it's just one battle of many That Bill has fought Against counterfeit wine In 2008 Coke filed a consumer fraud lawsuit Against the Chicago Wine Company Which was later settled out of court Another time Coke spent $3.5 million Buying nearly 2,700 bottles of wine From Zacky's auction house Almost a third of a million dollars' worth Was fake The auction house settled out of court But the seller Was told to pay $379,000 in damages And another $1,000 for every bottle But then the next day they went You know what We've thought about it This jury has decided to award you $12 million in punitive damages Jackpot, said Mr. Coke I'm rich But a year later The court changed its mind And awarded Coke only $711,000 OK, so this guy's like a one-man army And he's going around Trying to scare the shit out of anyone Who's selling fake wine Oh, you've got expensive rare wine, do you Yeah, I'll buy it then Yeah, but no Yeah, I'll buy it No, it's fine, it's genuine, is it Yeah, you're saying it's genuine Yeah, definitely And then he goes And he inspects it Then finds it's fake And then goes Yeah, I knew all along, stupid Lawsuit By doing this He's very slowly cleaning up the market After all of these investigations Bill has spent around $35 million Tracking down fake wine But by 2016 Coke was ready to lay down his weapons He sold off a big chunk of his collection And it sold for $22 million Which means he likely did not break even So consider giving to his GoFundMe Now this is actually Just a very small part of the story This scandal ended up Making such waves across the wine industry That they decided to make a movie about it Based on the Benjamin Wallace book The Billionaire's Vinegar And it was set to star Brad Pitt No wait, now it's Matthew McConaughey No wait, it looks like it's cancelled All right, that's the video Thanks for watching Four more to go But we've already started in On the regular type stuff In case you don't love fancy Okay, bye And don't forget incognito.com slash incognito
