- When people start collapsing at the launch tasting of Midsomer Vineyard's newest sparkling wine, Kate Wilding discovers that the glasses had been laced with slug pellets.
- 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.—don @ minifie-1
- At the party passionate wine maker William Carnarvon hosted with wife offish Diane to present his Midsomer Vinae wine estate's first-ever sparkling wine, critic Nadia Simons gives an unexpectedly negative appreciation, topped by several guests having to be hospitalized as some of the glasses, borrowed from Louis Paynton 's neighboring hotel, were poisoned, albeit none lethally. Louis's son Kevin, Wulliams's assistant estate manager, is the only local speaking up for him against Elspeth Rice's action group campaigning to shit it down, claiming it wrecks the environment, notably the lake, but also holding grudges since the drowning of hotel receptionist Roger Tyler and his wife, her sickly buddy Judy's daughter in a hit and run after lush prime suspect Nadia attended a previous Carnarvon wine tasting. Perfectionist William has overstretched his capital and counts on the trust-fund Diane's late father set aside for piano-gifted son Ryan's musical career, but the knave dreams of running away with the Tyler's daughter Tina, who is later kidnapped. Louis, who has a crush on Diana, falls to his death shortly after William turns down his cheap bid on the soon bankrupt estate, but also heir Kevin's partnership offer. All threads combine in a race against time.—KGF Vissers
