A new wine film will soon open. It’s called Bottle Shock and is based on the real story of how an Englishman working in a wine shop in Paris in the 80s (now a famous wine writer and consultant, Steven Spurrier) organizes a blind wine tasting pitching classic French wines against unknown New World ones. The result is that the New World wines “win” to everyone’s surprise. The event goes under the name “the Judgment of Paris”. The movie is a (free) interpretation of the events. The main character is played by Alan Rickman (know e.g. as Snape in the Harry Potter films). Se the trailer here: Bottle Shock.
