Storyline
Paris-based wine expert Steven Spurrier heads to California in search of cheap wine that he can use for a blind taste test in the French capital. Stumbling upon the Napa Valley, the stuck-up Englishman is shocked to discover a winery turning out top-notch chardonnay. Determined to make a name for himself, he sets about getting the booze back to Paris.

Bottle Shock is more than the story. It is also about people who love their work, care about it with passion and talk about it with knowledge.

This intelligent, affectionate, beautifully acted movie gives crowd-pleasers a good name.

It's the kind of feel-good movie whose resolution is evident from the start, being based as it is on a true story. But that doesn't make the journey any less interesting.

A charming comedy-drama that's surprising true to the events that inspired it.
