What can the Wino say about the Bottle Shock? Hmmm, let's see, how about: The American spirit triumphs, the French like themselves, and wine is delicious.
Why the wino hated this movie?
Because of the stomach-churning, Hollywood-contrived love triangle between Gustavo, Sam, and Bo. Seriously fellow boozers, what did that have to do with anything? Why on earth would Sam dump Gustavo for Bo? Ick, his hair weave was sooo bad.
Why the wino liked this movie?
Because she wants to move to Napa Valley where it's warm, grow heirloom tomatoes, and drink wine all day in her rose-filled backyard while she wears a chic pair of white pants. And she, like any other arrogant American with a gross sense of entitlement, likes a good story about how the snooty French were given a run for their money when their wines lost to Californian wines in a blind taste test. By the way, if you are French and you are reading this (doubtful), the wino does not mean to be disrespectful because she also wants to live France.
And the moral of the story is:
Always keep an open mind when it comes to wine. Fellow boozers, if you don't like Chardonnay, always be open to the possibility that you might find one that is absolutely amazing. And even though the thought of Chinese wine is impossible to get your head around, you may end up liking it a lot. French, Australian, South African, Chinese - it doesn't matter. Stop whining and give it a try. The Wino guarantees that you will be surprised.
Cheers!
