Picking your weapons like a wine tasting? Only John Wick can make violence this classy.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Wick. It’s been a long time.” 🍷🔫

In this iconic scene from John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) , the legendary hitman returns to the Rome Continental Hotel for some very specific “shopping.” But this isn’t your average gun store. This is a “tasting” with the Sommelier (Peter Serafinowicz)—a man who doesn’t specialize in wine, but in weapons of mass destruction.

What follows is one of the most stylish and unforgettable gear-up sequences in action cinema. The Sommelier presents Wick with a smorgasbord of custom firearms as if he were recommending courses for a multi-course meal of violence: appetizer, main course, and dessert. 🍽️💀

The “Appetizer” (Main Sidearm): He wholeheartedly endorses the new breed of Austrians—the Taran Tactical Glock 34. Recontoured grips, a flared magwell for easier reloads, and custom porting. Pure precision. 🎯

The “Main Course” (The Workhorse): When Wick requests something “robust and precise,” the Sommelier brings out an 11.5-inch AR-15 with a Trijicon Accupoint 1-6x scope. Ion-bonded bolt carrier. Ready for business. 🔥

The “Dessert” (The Heavy Hitter): For the end of the night, something “big and bold”—the Benelli M4, an Italian classic. Custom bolt carrier, charging handle, and textured grips… “should your hands get… wet.” 💧

And for dessert? “The finest cutlery. All freshly stoned.” 🗡️

This scene perfectly captures why the John Wick universe is so beloved: it treats the world of assassination with the same reverence and ritual as high-end hospitality. The Sommelier even wears a tastevin (the traditional silver wine-tasting cup) around his neck—a subtle nod to the fact that he’s appraising death with the same care as a master sommelier appraises a vintage Bordeaux. 🍇

Fun fact: The weapons seen here were custom-built by Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) , the official weapons supplier for the John Wick films. Keanu Reeves trained extensively with TTI’s founder, Taran Butler, firing 1,000 to 1,500 rounds per session to achieve the flawless gun-handling showcased throughout the movie. He also trained with former Israeli special forces operator Aaron Cohen, learning everything from competition-style shooting to tactical reloads under combat pressure. The result? Some of the most authentic and mesmerizing gunplay ever committed to film. 🎬

This scene isn’t just about guns—it’s about ritual, expertise, and the chilling beauty of a man who knows exactly what he needs to do his job. No questions. No hesitation. Just a quiet nod and a “Yes. Thank you.”

Let me ask you this: If you had one night to survive a hit in the catacombs of Rome, what’s YOUR weapon of choice? The precision Glock, the versatile AR, or the brute-force shotgun?
