Ahhhh, the French champagne... and wine, gin, whisky and more! That's right, we're taking another alcohol-based trip to another country today, this time trying a selection of French alcohol products.

Apologies for the martini glasses with the wine! We seemed to have misplaced the wine glasses but then as always, the show must go on! We then however made sure to get wine glasses for the other pairs! 😅

[@TennesseeBlues4642]

Someone call Ciara!!! Maybe she knows where the glasses went!! hahaha

[@stevenpope940]

Lolsy said something. The next pair had wine glasses. I thought we'd see someone shatter them, and then you guys gave it away in the first comment.

I'm sure someone just want to take them off for a good cleaning. That or gremlins broke them in the night.

[@SojaRouge]

Hi from France, nobody here would drink gin or whisky made in France. While the France label may be sold overseas for quite a price on French products, I strongly avise you to go local (so to go for England producteur on these last 2). Bonjour chez vous !

[@chucku00]

Impressed with the Boursin reference (Boursin had the very first ad that aired on a French TV channel in the late 60's). What a throwback!

"Du pain, du vin, du Boursin". Same here, my French half is impressed by that reference!

Totally agree. They tasted cognac so why not armagnac, calvados, marc ? A bit disappointing to see "clones" i.e. whysky and gin, as French have local things. Ou une vieille prune artisanale de derrière les fagots ...

[@RedClover1987]

Proper way to sip cognac. Sip a little, let it remain in mouth until you feel your saliva returning, it will remove the bite, then finish. Smooths it out remarkably well. Advice from my French uncle. V.S.O.P is distilled champagne.

[@Ropie3000]

VSOP stands for 'Very Superior Old Pale', that means that is a cognac made with an 'eau de vie' aged minimum 4 years... thank me later ;-)

[@Deseko]

As an advid admirer of the Scream franchise, I can confidently say Gráinne is the killer lol (Blue Flannel Shirt)

Great video. And it's good to see Lolsy again. This tells me that she's still in the Try family. Haven't seen John Sharpson, George, Martin, or Justine Stafford for a bit. Please tell me that they are still part of the flock. Thanks.

[@afcgeo882]

Justine was just in a couple of videos.

[@AlterMann57]

Laura and Grainne seemed to enjoy every drink, and I love that. Laura used to be so against trying a good whiskey, but the Try Channel has covered her! When Seamus was doing his tribute to Darren I cracked up, and Lolsy actually drank gin and whiskey without making her usual strong drink face. Well done Lolsy!

[@maxancekyintooulie6592]

"Du bière, du vin... du Boursin..!" Excellent !!

[@thomasallen3818]

Seamus definitely needs to do more snobby impressions, too damned funny!

[@Ossey1976]

The best parts of those alcohol testing videos are Lolsys faces. Never stop inviting her for those videos!

[@jennross6466]

If your face turns red after a couple glasses of wine, you're not alone. Many people experience facial flushing when they drink alcohol. The technical term for this condition is “alcohol flush reaction.” Most of the time, the flushing happens because you have trouble digesting alcohol completely. As a result, acetaldehyde builds up in the body after alcohol consumption, which causes the characteristic red flushing of the face. Acetaldehyde is the first product generated during the metabolism of alcohol (chemically known as ethanol). It is generated primarily in the liver by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH).

[@mklaebel]

I flush terribly when I drink alcohol. Cool to know the biochemistry behind it.

[@lisaforsythe5325]

I never knew why that happened. So thank you! I always assumed that it's because I'm allergic to sulfur.

[@ericbrett3095]

And now you know and knowing is half the battle.

[@afcgeo882]

That’s not what he’s referring to. He’s talking about his face turning red specifically after drinking red wine. He may be slightly allergic to tannins or sulfites.

[@sarahwithanhyouheathen3210]

Thank you, science side of youtube!

[@ogrejd]

Hmm. Everyone's so flushed and sweaty even at the start. Guess you're having a very warm winter over there, eh? :P

I have had a bottle of Armorik whisky which is also from French Brittany. Also a nice whiskey. That western parts part of France where they do not grow grapes have deep connections with Great Britain

[@Jamirio]

That's because genetic wise the paternal lineage of the people in GB is almost the same as the lineage of the people in FR (especially north western part)

[@philipejeuceoututkache]

As a French, I'm glad you gave them really good stuff to try, and they loved it. kinda expensive on some, especially the red wine, being a quality Bordeaux, that cost almost 100€ a bottle, the brandy, gin and Normandy whiskeey (because Le breuil is from Normandy), are in the 50/60€ range. Would be fun to go on the french "very liquorous" drinks, such as yellow Chartreuse (the green on is very strong), Genepi from the Alps (especially comming from Grand Rubren distilery, the 40°c one), or Myrthe from the Corsica island. There's still so many stuff you can give them to try ^^

[@Jamirio]

They are many missing Grand Marnier, any calvados or rum etc

I tasted cognac Brandi one time over 30 years ago & the one I tasted , tasted like black licorice & was so smooth you didn’t taste or feel the burn of the alcohol in it , it brong me back to my child hood & I say that because when I was a child , on Sundays my mom & dad & I would go to flee markets & there was this little old man who was hand making fresh black licorice & other candy’s & giving samples of it out , it reminded me of that fresh black licorice back when I was a kid & I know black licorice is a acquired taste but when made right & fresh it’s very nice .
