Critics Consensus: Bottle Shock fails to properly utilize the inspiring true tale at its core, settling instead for an ordinary, plodding account.

Reviews

Charleston City Paper

Felicia Feaster

[A]necdotally interesting, but artistically underwhelming.

[K]ick back and relax and take a sip of BOTTLE SHOCK. It will linger on your palette long after the curtain falls.

[A] film that acknowledges the passion, dedication and commitment of those owner/growers who keep our wine cellars, cupboards and fridges stocked and, to that end, it's worth a tipple.

Bottle Shock is an entertaining, albeit unremarkable film.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Annie Wagner

Bottle Shock is a shameless grab at the yuppie audience that flocked to the similarly themed Sideways.
