品嚐葡萄酒是貫穿整部電影的一個主題。就像女主角Maya說的，

每一瓶酒都是一個生命，像每個人的生命一樣。我們看這段對話：

Miles Raymond: Why are you into wine?

Maya: Oh I... I think I... I originally got in to wine through my ex-hu*****and.

Miles Raymond: Ah.

Maya: You know, he had this big, sort of show-off cellar, you know.

Miles Raymond: Right.

Maya: But then I discovered that I had a really sharp palate.

Miles Raymond: Uh-huh.

Maya: And the more I drank, the more I liked what it made me think about.

Miles Raymond: Like what?

Maya: Like what a fraud he was.

[Miles laughs softly]

Maya: No, I- I like to think about the life of wine.

Miles Raymond: Yeah.

Maya: How it's a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks, like your '61. And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline.

Miles Raymond: Hmm.

Maya: And it tastes so fxxking good.

在Maya看來，品酒就是品味人生，一瓶葡萄酒隨時間發生的變化成了一個人人生的形象寫照。還有這段Miles關於Pinot的描述也適用於人：



人生都有幼稚和成熟，高潮和低穀，衰老和死亡，就像酒一樣，從這點上說，我覺得杯酒人生這個翻譯還是很高明，很深刻的。
