剧情介绍
When people start collapsing at the launch tasting of Midsomer Vineyard's newest sparkling wine, Kate discovers that the glasses had been laced with slug pellets. Who could want to sabotage a seemingly innocent wine tasting and why?
William Carnarvon's Midsomer Vinae winery is launching a new sparkling white in the presence of waspish critic Nadia Simons when several guests are poisoned, though not fatally. William's wife Diana tells Barnaby of the opposition to the vineyard by a local group led by nurse Elspeth Rice but Elspeth claims that the vineyard has caused pollution and was indirectly responsible for the death of little Jessica Tyler, killed by a hit and run driver after a wine-tasting. Nadia was a prime suspect and soon afterwards she is killed. The vineyard is in financial trouble and hotelier Lewis Paynton, who is in love with Diana, offers to buy it but he is the next victim. Crime of passion, revenge killing or means of keeping somebody quiet, there is further sabotage and an abduction before Barnaby discovers who committed a vintage murder.
故事挺好，基本上扣主线扣的很紧，投毒，谋杀，绑架，都是女人的抗争与悲剧。
几条线交织，不同凶手不同动机，设计巧妙，就是最后Kevin主动绑架的动机牵强
迄今为止最好看的一集！各种疑点和矛盾交织在一起！跟着剧情的发展一起推理的感觉真好！已二刷~
一个悲伤的母亲
共有四起案件，一起投毒案，两起谋杀和一宗绑架案，投毒和绑架只是插曲，其中两起谋杀才是真正的主线，两条主线通过车祸这个点连接起来，剧情铺垫和人物刻画比前几集要出色的多，所以误导虽然不是很意外却很合情合理，最后的悲剧收尾顺理成章，遗憾到了最后解答总是是缺乏证据。
Claire Bloom！在這部看到你真是太驚喜了。
这种悲哀的案件一看就是出自内心敏感细腻的女性作者，不过最后的推理过程太模糊，直接就出结论了。Lisa Holdsworth似乎非常热衷于塑造这种处于外表的受害者与实际的施害者之间的双面女性。
