Title: Does not due justice to the book!
Review: Bottle Shock is based on the excellent historical book, Judgment of Paris, which describes the amazing growth of the wineries in California and the tasting between California and French wines in 1976 in which one of the cabernets took first over the French Bourdeux and one California Chardoney took first place over the French white bourdeux. The book really is head and shoulders better than the film which portrays only one wine and the associated people who brought that wine to Paris. The film also has very flimsy romantic subplot which is the usual modus operandi of hollywood to spice up the movie. I recommend reading the book and forgetting the film.
