The first half of the movie was terribly slow but the ending made up for it.

This movie was witty, cute and funny. I found myself salivating for a glass of wine. This was a recommendation and I loved it!
first not really a laughter type comedy but this movie is a true story and will give u an education on wine, the term bottle shock is accurate. i've been wine tasting in this region, truly enjoyed the movie
Enjoyable movie, good sense of humor. It was haphazardly edited in a couple spots, but I liked the story. Worth renting.
Not as bad as it is made out to be.
midly enetertaining movie with a very good story.
Alan rickman is perfect as the vinophile in the movie.
Good casting all around, and a story about hope, redemption, and
ultimatly liberation. Success ensures after the hard slog.
