Based on a true story, 'Bottle Shock' chronicles the events leading up to the famous 'Judgment of Paris' tastings. Former real estate attorney, Jim (Bill Pullman) sacrificed everything to realise his dream of creating the perfect handcrafted chardonnay. His business is struggling, he's trying to overcome differences with his slacker son (Chris Pine) and is fighting off the creditors. Meanwhile in Paris, British wine shop owner Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) hopes to revive his own failing business by sponsoring a competition. Little did Steven and Jim realise that they were both about to change the history of wine forever.
