Episode Notes

This week on Bottoms Up! Lee gets invited to a wine tasting… with absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Confronted with a spittoon for the first time, he’s faced with the ultimate dilemma: spit or swallow? The boys sample Welsh wine from The Dell Vineyard and debate the correct way to tackle Cardiff’s legendary Chip Alley - mayo, cheese, curry sauce, or gravy? Plus, Lee recounts the time he nearly caused a scandal in a Welsh country pub… just for asking for a slice of orange in his G&T. Meanwhile, Alan’s been forced into a digital detox after losing his phone, Lee’s gearing up for Easter, and Alan has some strong opinions about the state of chocolate eggs these days. There’s also a brand-new segment, where the boys discover which wine pairs perfectly with Disco Scallops from The Broadcaster. And joining them this week is The Affordable Wine Hunter (@affordablewinehunter), sharing his top supermarket hacks for the Easter Bank Holiday - including the secret of “Neighbours of the Famous”: bottles made just outside world renowned regions that deliver the same quality for a fraction of the price. Drinks featured: * Y Lleidr (“The Thief”) – The Dell Vineyard * Ooh La La Sauvignon Blanc – The Broadcaster * Le Bijou Rosé de Sophie Valrose – Waitrose * Léon Perdigal Lirac 2023/24 – Majestic Drink responsibly, and as always… Bottoms Up!
