But that's also a metaphor for the two characters and their approaches to romance and/or sex. Church's Jack will take whatever is in front of him, even if it is someone else's bottle. I'm not sure what the wine version of "omnivorous" is ... perhaps "omnivinous." He simply isn't fussy. No, it's more than that, he is sexually obsessive. "You need to get your joint worked on, Miles" is presented as a solution to Miles' relationship woes. "Don't you just want to feel that cozy little box grip down on your johnson?"
Miles, on the other hand, is speaking of himself when he talks about his interest in Pinot Noir: "It's uh, it's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It's, you know, it's not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and uh, thrive even when it's neglected. No, Pinot needs constant care and attention. You know? And in fact it can only grow in these really specific, little, tucked away corners of the world. And, and only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it, really. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot's potential can then coax it into its fullest expression."
Miles is fussy. He knows he is temperamental and sensitive. "Ripens early" translates to "I may have already peaked with a previous relationship." He is bitterly aware of how much attention he needs in a relationship, and so on. It's a helpless self-awareness, knowing his flaws but being unable to act on them.
