A man who fended off a bear with a wine bottle caught the attention of late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon.

The host of The Tonight Show mused the bear might have been a wine connoisseur.

The bear segment can be seen roughly 90 seconds into the video.

"All the guy did was just show the bear the label," Fallon joked, using Yellow Tail merlot as an example.

The man suffered scratches and internal bleeding after the scuffle and was treated at a Saskatoon hospital.

The man's sister told CBC he also punched the bear in the nose.

One Facebook user defended the wine, saying "Yellow tail's not so bad!"
