Heartwarming comedy: Wine tasting for beginners” in the Amberg City Theater!
On Friday, January 23, 2026, the Amberg City Theater invites you to an amusing evening event: The comedy “Wine Tasting for Beginners” is on the program. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. and promises an entertaining evening for all wine and comedy lovers.
This heartwarming production explores the passionate relationship between Jacques, a wine shop owner, and his wines. Jacques has a deeper connection to his wine bottles than to the people in his life. That changes when the unworldly Hortense enters his shop looking for wine for the homeless. But chaos begins when Steve, a young petty criminal, storms into the store with the police in tow.
An unexpected internship position
Hortense, who has a heart for Steve, convinces Jacques to give him a chance and offers him an internship as part of a rehabilitation project. This decision changes not only Steve's life, who shows an unrecognized talent for smell and taste, but also Jacques, who slowly becomes ready to get involved in life and love again. Ivan Calbérac's comedy is not only peppered with funny dialogues, but also brings exciting moments and a deeper insight into human relationships.
