Between ScarJo, the Super Bowl, and the announced closure of their West Bank factory, SodaStream has seen its share of controversy this year. But nothing could prepare any of us for what happened when Noah tried to make sparkling red wine in his dad’s SodaStream machine.

Originally posted online in January but unearthed this week, the video shows a father-son lark gone utterly, disastrously wrong. It’s like watching a horror movie where everyone but the people in it know exactly what’s about to happen. Because it’s obvious what’s going to happen. But no spoilers.
