The wine world's biggest con man, Rudy Kurniawan, pulled off an audacious scam that left a trail of empty bottles and shattered reputations in its wake. In "Sour Grapes," a slyly suspenseful documentary, filmmaker Reuben Atlas chronicles the rise and fall of this Indonesian collector, who amassed millions by flooding the market with fake vintages worth millions. From Acker Merrall & Condit's high-stakes auctions to the FBI's raid on Kurniawan's mansion, "Sour Grapes" is a fascinating and sometimes disturbing look at the cutthroat world of fine wine and the men who buy and sell it.
