Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

A Traitors night out as Alan and Lee begin their Wine Odyssey! Plus Tom Gilbey joins the boys

Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

Show Notes

Out of the turret and into the wine rack, Alan Carr and best friend Lee Peart are taking their first steps on a wine odyssey to learn a thing or two about the drink of the gods… wine

And there’s plenty of gossip on the wine list too. Why do people keep thinking Lee is Alan’s lover? And what caused their “When Harry Met Sally” moment in Cape Town? Plus which Traitors cast member did they offend at the theatre? And why does Alan never leave home without a cloak and lantern?

Joining the boys for episode one is the godfather of wine, the only man with better frames than Alan, marathon man Tom Gilbey. He’s there to provide some impressive wine hacks and answer Alan’s burning question… why does everything he drink taste of banana.

Drink responsibly, and as always… Bottoms Up!
