Set in a quiet convent in the 1960s, Drinking Habits follows the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing as they secretly make wine to fund their good works. But when two reporters arrive undercover to investigate rumors of a convent “scandal,” chaos erupts—especially when mistaken identities, romantic misunderstandings, and hidden agendas collide.
As the lies pile up, the wine flows, and the convent becomes a whirlwind of hilarity, one thing becomes clear: everyone has something to hide!
