130K views · 2.4K reactions | Speaking of classic commercials… Orson Welles got a wee bit intoxicated while filming this one for Paul Masson Californian Wine in 1978. Here’s a few outtakes. Impressive that he memorized his lines despite being completely sloshed!  | Vintage Los Angeles | Facebook

These outtakes are from a Paul Masson wine commercial featuring a visibly inebriated Orson Welles slurring his lines and struggling to deliver the famous slogan, "We will sell no wine before its time." The clips, which circulated on VHS for years before going viral online, show the legendary actor-director unable to focus or pronounce words correctly, creating a stark contrast to his usual dignified persona.
