Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

Dinner with Alan’s Parents, Wine vs Milk and Shocking Christmas Presents

Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

Show Notes

Alan and Lee continue their baby steps into the wonderful world of wine and this week they’re chatting about the worst ever Christmas gifts before solving another listener’s drink dilemma.

They discuss dinner with Alan’s parents, Lee being mistaken for a ‘bloke’ and how a bottle of semi-skimmed milk can teach them more about wine body and texture.

There’s also a surprise in store behind an advent door that neither of them saw coming, as the boys drink their way through another gloriously chaotic chapter of their wine adventure.

Drink responsibly, and as always… Bottoms Up!
