The trick is, what exactly is the message? Starting this movie, when asked if I would kill Hitler if I could go back in time... I likely would have said yes. I mean, it's Hitler. Now I don't know. True, Hilter did some truly evil things. However killing him would also be a form of evil. What if all he really needed was someone to talk to, what if you sat down and talked to the man you meant to kill?
The people in the movie started with 'good' intentions. They would invite people to dinner and try to change their mind. Only if they couldn't would they be given the 'bad' wine. Slowly they stopped trying, and dinner was simply an excuse to get rid of people whom they didn't agree with.
In the end I'm not sure who was 'wrong'. It looks as if the ultimate 'bad' (played by Ron Perlman) kills the students at the end of the movie. What wine did they drink if all the 'good' wine was gone? Yet at the same time... who painted the last painting if they were all killed?
