Synopsis – What to Expect from “Bottle Shock”
Bottle Shock is a 2008 American comedy-drama film about the early days of the California wine industry. It is based on the 1976 wine competition termed the “Judgment of Paris” where California wines shocked the world by beating French wines in a blind taste test.
The movie follows the story of a struggling Napa Valley winemaker, Jim Barrett (played by Bill Pullman), who is struggling to keep his family-owned winery afloat. His son, Bo (Chris Pine), returns home after a failed attempt to make it as a rock musician in London. Bo soon discovers his father’s winery is in financial trouble and decides to help out by joining the family business.
Meanwhile, a British wine merchant, Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman), travels to California in search of wines to feature in a blind taste test he is hosting in Paris. He visits Jim’s winery and is impressed by the quality of the wine, but is disappointed when Jim refuses to enter the competition.
Bo, however, is determined to prove his father’s wine is worthy of recognition and secretly enters the competition. When the results of the competition are announced, Jim’s wine is declared the winner, much to everyone’s surprise.
The movie follows the characters as they grapple with the newfound fame and success, and as Jim and Bo slowly begin to repair their fractured relationship. In the end, Jim
