The third film is El vino, el mundo y nosotros (Wine, the World and Us), by Antonio Lobo Daza, a documentary about Jerez-Sherry wine, and a first-person account of the radical changes brought about by the 20th century concerning how we make, do business with and drink wine. Jerez-Sherry wine, one of Spain’s products with the most historical international presence, also underwent, after a happy expansion, a hard process of adaptation to the century of globalization.
