The Fine White Wine Man (2023) 🇱🇰

- ■ SRI LANKA, ALAWATUGHODA: Cruising around Sri Lanka in June 2019 on my way from Kandy to Sigyriya on my derelict rental moped, I stopped in a small town called Alawatughoda because Google Maps said there was a newly opened luxurious hotel in between these two towns. Google Maps was right so I booked it for a night.
What Google Maps failed to mention was the price of a beer in the minibar at the aforementioned luxury hotel... hence why I cruised back into the nearest town after checking in to buy some entertaining beverages at a more affordable price.
That's how I met the Fine White Wine Man... who greeted me and gave me a tour of his local liquor store plus an adjacent restaurant. He has been a legend globally ever since!
Fast forward to March 2023... I was back in Sri Lanka and wanted to meet this mythical character again. As most of you know... that mission failed... but as most of you also now know....
The Northman don't give up THAT easily 😎

Dear Harald Baldr, you have done more for Sri Lanka with your videos than some politicians! I hope that this wonderful country and the wonderful people will soon recover from the crises they had in the past.
Just 2 years of no external or internal shocks and Sri Lankan tourism will thrive to previously unheard of heights
When any politicians have done any good for their country really. Anywhere.
@@HaraldBaldrCheers mate
Absolutely superb video @HaraldBaldr
👍
One thing I'm noticing..Sri Lanka might not be the wealthiest Asian nation, but it is well kept and clean. That says a lot of it's people.
Just like.. america
Nope we are straight

What about paris?
Raja is very popular in Sri Lanka. It's because of you. I really appreciate that you came twice to look for Raja. I am very happy that Raja was found again.. and for showing the beauty of Sri Lanka to the world.. You are a true friend...❤
Did anyone notice how nice and clean looking that 3rd class train compartment was? I'm completely blown away. 😳😲 Why would anyone want to ride in 1st class in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰?
Can you read a timile because you get a Tamik peper ..Good luck...!
The most popular Sri Lankan, the legend 'fine white wine man of ukuwala'👌✊
brill that herald finally found him and raja was genuinly happy to see herald . good job they did not go to the hotel because with the deep drop by the pool it would have been dangerous for raja .
Not sure it has dawned on him what a comedic genius he truly is
This man has done more to Sri Lankan tourism than the entire Tourism ministry in Sri Lanka
Im from mexico and legit i had no idea about sri lanka. Since harald videos came out, now i know where it is lol, a couple of cities and of course the white wine man 😎. Also, at first it was weird to me how this island was not part of india, now i think i understand and it even looks way better than india!
@@leredditcommander8208harald is a class act. He is in the premier league of vloggers
Just one point about socialist sri lanka. The country had no money to buy second hand trains. So,they started making them!
Same comment as last video ..
indeed yes ! they should give free visa tickets etc ..
Same comment as last video...
The moment Harald met Raja was very emotional. It brought me tears.
🙄
@@aiwntrmute1that raja guy is very greedy
බොහොම ස්තූතිය. ලංකාවට පැමිනියාට, ලංකාවේ සුන්දරත්වය ලෝකයට පෙන්නුවාට. ❤❤
What i learned from this video: Nobody parties harder than the "Fine White Wine Man"! Not even a true Norwegian Viking can keep up!
True dat!
He's the Party King of Sri Lanka
The GOAT 🐐 of goats
Not even Jack Grealish 😅😅
For me the best part of these videos are the conversations where neither Harald nor the other person know what they are talking about 🤣
What a green country. An incredibly beautiful tiny island. The pearl of the Indian Ocean, home to always smiling and hospitable people. Love ❤️Sri Lanka.🇱🇰
I'm not sure if it is normal to speak such impeccable English in Norway, but I have to say for someone who is speaking a second language your English is absolutely perfect.
🙏
I Love how he never judges a person by their looks. Kind soul ❤️ . Thank you Harald 🇱🇰
Only 10 mins into the video and I just got to comment on how lovely and polite the Sri Lankan people are. I'm definitely booking a flight ✈️✈️❤
You are warmly welcome to our Mother land.
@@janakiabeysundera1734thank you. I will be visiting 100%. Have a nice day. Love from Liverpool England ❤
❤
Warmly Welcome Dear. Much Love. Have a nice day.
Warmly welcome to our coun🎉
This video made my heart warm and it made my entire day. Harald, you're a true person with a true heart. Maybe this is what peace on earth looks like❤️
Loved that grandpa and ma. Sometimes language is not needed only humanity. Love from Nepal🇳🇵🇱🇰
YESSSSS WE SAW HIM AGAIN
Much love to Sri Lanka from South Africa!!!
Much love ❤️ to you too and to South Africa from Sri Lanka
❤❤❤❤❤
It was such a emotional moment when they met ,Thankyou harald for bringing us raw,unedited, natural beauty of humankind ❤
,yes indeed x ❤ i was so happy for them x
Saying this as a Mexican: I got a really big laugh about Mexicans not being able to understand even a Hello. I was very impressed on last video that even the guy on the train tracks knew some words to communicate with you. Sri Lanka’s public education system must be doing something really good to achieve that among their population.
british postcolonial habitat, bro
Has a high literacy rate
Burundi! 🇧🇮 The episode we've long been waiting for! Bring it on!
You are one of the few people who show us real, unstaged, raw and candid, cross-cultural human to human interactions, which really shows us all of common bonds. I thank you Harald.
Raja is absolute legend human. He doesn't even know who you are and where you from but he consider you his best friend ❤ i hope he quit drinking as his health seems very weak now
Viva Raja & Harald
🇱🇰❤️🇧🇻
A Roaring Emotional Reunion!
It is obvious that Raja is genuinely thrilled to meet you Harald! As you are of him!
If this was a movie the clapping and whistling would have been Thunderous! Having said that, count me in , if you are planning on a project to help Build Raja his house. It is obvious that he is struggling to make ends meet , yet have that fun and genuine outlook in life. Thank you Harald for a wonderful video! Greetings to you and everyone in Sri Lanka!
Incidentally I enjoyed watching this video several times.
Good luck from Toronto
🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️👍👍🇱🇰🇧🇻😍
Harold is a legend to Sri Lankans... he will be remembered forever
When Harald uploads, it's always a good day. Sri Lanka is beautiful people and country.
Sri Lanka is the one of the best natural beauty country in the world 🇱🇰 ❤
Fine white wine man is a raw human wuthout any hidden agenda. Very rare to find in these times. I have been in Srilanka. The place and the people are similar to my place , Kerala. Harold is also a person with a golden heart. His vlogs are so connecting. Thanks Harold for your videos.
Harald and Bald are the two travelers I truly respect! I started packing my bags following these two and no matter how many travel vlogers may have flocked to the platform lately but the content of Harald and Bald remains unmatched!
Fine white wine man journey has ended. The man is same and going on happy with his life. His face was a pure joy to watch. As a viewer I feel accomplished. You are not a regular vlogger. You create a episodes, story telling and is way better than any web series.
My favorite series was Facky Party❤❤❤❤
I wonder how Faki Party is doing right now
@@John-793 yes me too. That was the most emotional episode. When Faki gets a motorcycle.
I love the bit where the fine white wine man talks serious in a deeper tone , like when he warned against thieves 4 years ago and now about smtn else of importance , a true scholar indeed
There's no one like Harald...a gem 💎 of a human.😊
Yes Harold should be given a prize 🏆 of recognition because i now realize how safe and beautiful Sri Lanka reaĺly ìs.
Harald and the fine white wine man meeting is one of the most wholesome and happy moments I've seen in a long time! I'm so glad that he finally reunited with the legend!
I know it had me tearing up lol
Omg.. I really watched the whole video without skipping a second 😮❤
You look amazing for that traditional sri lankan dress harald. You should wear like this often 😂
As a Sri Lankan, I would like to thank you for your invaluable contribution to the promotion of Sri Lanka's tourism industry. Thank you harald.
Honestly you are promoting tourism in Sri Lanka more than the 'so called' government here. So Thank you very much and much love ❣
Harald, you've convinced me to travel all around Sri Lanka and explore the culture for myself. Cheers! Amazing videos, my friend!
Bloody hell I have been bingeing on your videos since getting the post travel blues returning from Indonesia! Thanks for inspiring genuineness, kindness and exploration Harald!! I hope to go to Sri Lanka soon!😊😊
Mr Harold , thank you for visit again sri lanka .You are the first one ,who show true hospitality of sri lankan to the entire world.i really appreciate

hello harold
Cool. Fine white wine man search continues 👍
Hope you find him?
It’s astounding how well so many folks speak English whilst undoubtedly speaking their native tongues and other dialects as well. So impressed by the people of Sri Lanka
Harald I truly love watching your videos, you have the kind of confidence and charisma I can only inspire to have. I live vicariously through you and mr balds videos so honestly thank you
Sri Lanka seems to be a nice country. Because of Hararld video I would like to visit it with my friend.
hey Harald, I see a tear of joy in his eyes at a first glance when you meet him. Also at that moment I feel that too🥲 Best Friendship ever❤
Saw it too. He was happy 🔥
@@HaraldBaldr 🍺
legends never die they just get drunk & party, long live the fine wine man
And work hard🙏👍
Yeah, sometimes 😊
Another great video Harald. This is the only thing that has brought a smile to my face since the recent passing of a beloved family member. You are one of a kind.
I am so invested, these videos are awesome !!!!
You are a hero. I’m still the unemployed person, who wrote to you, in the comments here, a while back, and every penny I donate is well spent. I support your genuine, authentic spirit, and the inspiration you are offering to the world, at such a critical time.
Please keep your money for yourself and good luck with job hunt 🙂
😂😂
Harold should give him a job

@@user-vk9tu9rp5c Stop it.
Sitting in Dyreparken watching this with a beer in hand while my daughter is napping. Life is good. Thank you my Norwegian brother for the good content 🙌
Great video again, Harold! Thanks for making such awesome content! Hero.
Verse 1:
Harold has a friend, his name is Raja
Drinks every day, it's just his way
But Harold loves him like a brother
Their bond ain't like any other
Chorus:
Let's help Harold find a white wine man
To keep Raja safe, and on the right plan
Their friendship's strong, forever it'll last
We're here to help, no matter the task
Verse 2:
Harold worries 'bout his friend's health
Drinking kasippu, bad for himself
He wants to see him happy and well
White wine's the answer, we can tell
Chorus:
Let's help Harold find a white wine man
To keep Raja safe, and on the right plan
Their friendship's strong, forever it'll last
We're here to help, no matter the task
Verse 3:
We'll search high and low, near and far
To find the perfect man, like a shining star
Someone who knows their wines well
And can guide Raja, from temptation's spell
Chorus:
Let's help Harold find a white wine man
To keep Raja safe, and on the right plan
Their friendship's strong, forever it'll last
We're here to help, no matter the task
Verse 4:
Raja has a friend, who cares so much
Harold's love is something such
Their friendship blossomed like a flower
It'll never fade, with passing hour
Chorus:
Let's help Harold find a white wine man
To keep Raja safe, and on the right plan
Their friendship's strong, forever it'll last
We're here to help, no matter the task
Outro:
Let's help Harold find a white wine man
We'll stand by him, like a loyal clan
Their friendship's strong, forever it'll last
Together we'll make magic, no worries from the past.
Man, you a poet!
Nice Song Bud
Harold what do you think ?
@@cryptoandfxnation Good one 🍺
@@HaraldBaldr this means lot to me see u in Dubai one day ❤️🫡
The elderly couple - the neighbors… wow! Such kind people. Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🏆-j
Such a great channel to watch. Love it
What a reunion! Harold we all love this white wine friendship! Thank you for sharing and I just love your videos!
The kindness I see from so many Sri Lankans in your video has me really wanting to visit. It is far from my comfort zone with life so different there, but people there seem to make the best of what they have in hard work and friendliness. I cannot wait to experience for myself a small part of what you show to us all. When I see the man at 23:13, it is exactly what is missing from my home country. Thank you Harold.
Thank you Harold for taking this little country to the world🙋🇱🇰
Damn, that 3rd class in the train looks cleaner and in better condition than 1st class in a Belgian train I recently rode 😂
10:46 fell out of my chair laughing...
There will be no other like the one and only Harold. So much compassion, on point satire, funny, thought provoking and a lot more. Your video just makes my day. Thank you truly thank you!
well spent 1:12:36. Totally worth it. I pray for White wine man, I hope he stops drinking alcohol for his good health.
Loving your beautiful digs! Love to spend time there. Afraid to go alone. 😮
Love your videos ! ❤
Was originally going to honeymoon in Maldives...but your videos have gotten me open to Sri Lanka! plus the possibility of meeting Fine White Man? it's the ideal location. Have to make sure my fiance doesnt see fine white man else im in trouble.
This is EXCELLENT!! Made me smile and tear up! Long live the white wine man! ❤
What a great video. Thank you Harald. Love from Sri Lanka
I'm so glad that you have finally found the fine white wine man Harald! love your videos 😊❤️Hope you will visit Sri Lanka often.
Its amazing how many people speak English, Sri Lankans are very intelligent.
Was a British colony 1796-1948.

Video just released, crazy to think that 7k other ppl sit and watch this at the same time as me, Harald Baldr and Fine White Wine man is loved!!❤
Dear Herald Bldr,
Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka! It was wonderful to see meeting the superstar Raja, the fine white wine man.
I invite you to explore the Negombo Pamunugama area, known for its fresh seafood. Come and indulge in the culinary delights!
Best regards,
Heshan Perera, Pamunugama, Sri Lanka.
Love your videos! You are the ONLY RUclipsr I will actually watch a video this long from start to finish 👏🏻❤ keep it up Haraldoooo!!!!
I just wanted to say thank you to Harald for visiting Sri Lanka again and again to find Raja, the Fine White Wine Man. Your videos are a great way to show the world how friendly and welcoming Sri Lankans are. I also love how you highlight the beautiful scenery and culture of Sri Lanka.
I specially enjoyed the part where you and Raja were drinking wine together and talking about his life and all. It was clear that you had a real connection, and I think that's what makes your videos so special. You're not just a tourist, you're an international friend of Sri Lankans.
What an amazing country , looking forward to go visit it again ! Specially Kandi
Its Kandy my friend ....
I have never been this excited for someone as excited. Your videos are so good, Harald.
Thank you sir,you have done a lot for promoting tourism in our country 🇱🇰
Rather watch Haralds adventures then any mainstream tv show. This man has epic adventures he will remember for the rest of his life. You are an inspiration Haraldo. I will visit this beautiful country one day because of you
Even though Raja drunk af didn’t let harald to spend money for others 😂
Your long videos seems so short , because they are raw and entertaining. Bringing smiles in our faces. Raja means king in Hindi. He is king of kasipu ❤.
King Kasippu 👑
What an awesome title
Hello Harald. I am very happy that, you have finally found the white wine man. You are really a great man. I really love to watch your all videos. Shrilankan people are very friendly and helpful. I felt joyful seeing Raja.
