When teacher Julie Stanton moves in with Richard Webb, the last thing she expects is that their romantic evening together will end with her walking out, still clutching the bottle of wine she had hoped they would drink to toast their new relationship. But then Julie and the bottle of wine part company, setting the stage for a series of glimpses into the lives and loves of 12 other couples in every stage of romance. Beginnings and endings, passion and antipathy, sometimes sexy but always memorable, each story ends with the passing of the bottle. By journey's end, you will get a voyeur's view into the love lives of 13 compelling heroines who never quite manage to pop the cork.
