But it was getting the facts wrong and plot holes that were more offensive to me. @Dirty: Your Southern constitution is stronger than mine as I could barely stand Bottle Shock the first time.

Wine was hardly a character- It was more of a film about a girl who sleeps with two guys, and Alan Rickman bumbling around than actually anything to do with wine. I've seen it 2x, as I had to sit through it on a flight last month... Maybe I'm the only one that had such a violent reaction to Bottle Shock…

The wine in Bottle Shock was so elusive that it never showed up.

It had so much promise in the trailer I saw. Looking forward to the review and interview of Merlove, Tim. I'm glad to hear that Merlove didn't turn to Merhate.
