Heres the trailer for 'Bottle Shock', the next big wine film to come out of the States after Sideways. Based on the now infamous 'Judgement of Paris' tasting in 1976 where US Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons beat their French counterparts in a blind tasting.
Hard to see it having the charm of Sideways but should easily eclipse A Good Year. In other semi wine related film news, Decanter recently reported that a film is to be made of the book French Women dont get Fat (based on the French Paradox)

There are some serious flaws in the movie: the most notable is it tries to portray Jim Barrett and his son, Bo, as poor, overworked winemakers when actually Jim was a successful attorney from Southern California who flew up to Napa on the weekends in his private plane to see how things were going and Bo was just out of high school. Mike Grgich was the winemaker and when he left Chateau Montelena to start his own winery with Austin Hills, the Barrettes have tried to rewrite history and pretend that he never existed. The movie also does not even mention Stag’s Leap Wine Cellar won the red wine tasting in the afternoon (except for a note at the end of the movie).
