The film focuses on the rise of the Napa Valley and California as it competes against the best French wines. The term Bottle Shock means two things, the term comes from what happens to wine in transportation [like a transatlantic flight], and more obviously the shock of a bottle of wine actually being good.
Rickman seems like Snape out of character to me, his nuances and body language are the same out of make-up which is hard for me to disconnect from. Pine and Taylor have conversations that remind me of a cable sitcom. This isn't a compete slam because that means that it is an easy watch but most scenes just don't seem like realistic dialogue exchanges to me [just fake]. I wasn't a huge fan of Pullman's character but that doesn't mean he didn't play him well, it is pretty standard performance for him. The film in general just isn't constructed to be anything but cheesy.
Maybe my comments were a little mean, but I discourage you from going out and renting this film. If you want to pick it up from the library or happen to see it on tv or netflix it might be worth your time on a slow tv night. Take away Taylor bedding Pine's friend and this is a family friendly drama also.
