A unique look at the world of fine wine – documentary series about extraordinary stories of human triumph over adversity

Extreme Obsession – Wine is a bold new global travelogue series that celebrates the passion, dedication and bravery of the world’s most extraordinary winemakers. Set across six episodes and filmed over the course of an entire year, an award-winning actor with a deep connection to the world of wine will travel to a host of awe-inspiring locations, showcasing incredible vineyards, witnessing extraordinary human stories and delving deep into the local terroir.

From an active warzone, to heading high into the world’s highest mountain range, braving a penal colony or evading bush fires – we will meet incredible people living on the edge – battling extreme environments, industry gatekeepers and their own demons – in pursuit of liquid perfection.

Charting the ups and downs of each vineyard’s harvest season, we will use the hyper-local nature of wine growing to explore broader themes relating to each region. From war, environmental disaster, political dictatorship and conservation through to discrimination, corruption, organised crime and corporate monopolisation - episodes will follow the risking it all human stories of people dead set on achieving their obsession: exceptional wine.
