Line 22:
* [[Conspicuous Consumption]] : Oz admits that Napa Valley is a bit on the fake side with its marketing machinery and rich-clientele pandering.
* [[Description Cut]] : Oz and James ride shotgun for a V8 muscle car drag race between "bone-idle vintners" who have nothing to do when not harvesting except fish and race cars.

* [[Discreet Drink Disposal]] : At fine wine tastings, it's not considered impolite to dispose of remaining wine by either pouring it or spitting it out on the ground or in a provided bucket, even if the vintner is present and the surroundings are posh. Oz spends a lot of effort trying to teach James how to spit neatly, and then even more effort convincing him that it's a good idea.
Line 63:
* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]] : Obviously, Oz versus James. But also James versus himself, as he comes to terms with the knowledge Oz has poured into his brain, and (according to [http://www.topgear.com/uk/james-may/james-may-obsessions-2007-11-01 one of his columns]) the realization that he can be very boring about certain topics for very long intervals of time, which is really something [[Top Gear|Richard and Jeremy]] have been trying to tell him for years.
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]] :

Dreaming when Dawn's Left Hand was in the Sky
I heard a Voice within the Tavern cry,
'Awake, my Little ones, and fill the Cup
Before Life's Liquor in its Cup be dry.'
[''beat''] Now fuck off. }}
* [[Spot of Tea]] : James spends a considerable segment of a France episode seeking out a British expat for a cup of proper tea. Then in ''Drink To Britain'', after spending a month sampling everything alcoholic the nation has to offer, they both conclude that the drink that speaks to modern Britain is in fact... tea.
