Michael McIntyre - Ordering Wine REACTION

[@paulbromley6687]

You say he looked angry…..have you seen acting before, you should see Rod Gilbert Thousand candles, or his Tog rant now that is acting angry.

[@stereoroid]

A waiter friend of mine told me that the most popular wine on the list is always the 2nd-least-expensive. No-one wants to order the cheapest wine, and the restaurant knows this.

[@ramonalavigne8953]

Yes! I was just thinking that's probably how I would order it! haha

[@shaneord7527]

Think that was on QI too.

[@Dunk1970]

I do have my preferred grape varieties. But if they aren't there, yup, I'd probably opt for one of the middle options, avoiding a grape I'm not fond of.

My sister saw him live, she loved it. I wasn't impressed at time as I find his giggly, topsy turvy voice off putting. I was prepared to dislike these clips and you've made me a convert this year as voice aside he is funny. I still feel like he needs an inhaler after each sentence, imo. 😮😂🇬🇧

[@MrSnowcake]

I love your Michael McIntyre reviews you might be interested in his send to all videos 🥰

[@MarkMcLT]

You've done a lot of McIntyre's stand-up; you might also enjoy watching his 'Unexpected Star" segments.

[@jericoba]

It's clear that McIntyre is _not_ a wine person. However, he's always funny.

[@Rickenization]

You suit your hair like that Jodi.

[@richardscratcher6075]

Tasting red wine is important. I've only ever encountered "corked" wine twice but wine is expensive and I don't want to pay for it if it's gone off. On one of those two rare occasions, the waiter tasted the wine and insisted that it was fine. The smell/taste of mould was obvious to everyone else at the table.

[@aaronmicalowe]

There's a restaurant in the city I used to live that charged £2.80 for a tea served in a tall glass (with a glass handle). I can get a box of 80 teabags for less. This reminds me of the Emperor's new clothes. Everyone believed they were better because everyone else believed the same thing.

[@AtenRIP]

You should definitely check Michael's Send to All bits! I think you'd love it. I suggest to start with Alan Carr episode.

[@eddiec1961]

That was a fun reaction apart from the start, I drink a lot of coffee everyday and it takes me about 5 minutes to get to sleep.

[@Ebutuoymaii]

No alcohol, no coffee, I’m guessing you don’t smoke or hit bongs… so what is your vice in life? 😅

[@judithrowe8065]

Generally only white wine & champagne are chilled. Red wine is served at room temperature as it allows the more complex flavours and bouquet to be more evident. Likewise, fine brandy and whisky should never meet ice. I agree most soft drinks need chilling, but you're drinking them more for refreshment than pleasure.

[@MartinMcMartin]

"What wine would you like sir?" Give me the one in the big box please. "Get out!"

[@alisonrandall3039]

My dad advise me to always choose the house wine. Because they have chosen it. Which will reflect their reputation if it is bad. Equally at a supermarket when they buy a type of wine. They are not going to buy alot of bad wine.

[@richardhague801]

I used to belong to a wine group back in the 1990's. We once did a parallel taste test of Penfolds wines (all reds from one specific year). The top of the range is called Grange (current value A$1,199 for a bottle of 2017) of the 4 wines we tried, the second highest value range was actually nicer than the Grange but both top tier wines were far superior to the more budget friendly wines. If your budget is $10 a bottle all wines are going to taste similar imo - but you can't beat a properly aged wine from a decent winery ...and when you do spend good money for good wine, you definitely want to know it's not corked.

[@AndrewMcgill-j5c]

Your reading too much into it

[@brianfallon2607]

The 1951 Chateau Camensac (Haut Médoc) is a good wine...if you like young wine 🤔🙄

[@revbenf6870]

Always amuses me when waiting staff bring a screw top bottle and still pour a little bit to see if it might be "corked". Many look confused when you try to explain it's not necessary.

[@JulieFromYork]

No idea about wine ... in truth, it always tastes like Vinegar to me

I’m no longer allowed to drink red wine. I tend to form opinions which can be very dangerous in my house

[@dazza9326]

I drink wine and I have no idea what the taste is like from a bottle of plonk to a 20-30 year old one. It all tastes the same.

[@garros]

Wow, no way. Every wine is different and the difference between varieties is huge. You need to be more present when drinking. lol

[@Dunk1970]

@@garros I'm with you in part. We're all on a spectrum from the super tasters, down to those who taste or care less about the nuances. I put myself in the middle somewhere. I care more about the taste differences in wine than food. My wife and our eldest (now in his early 30s) like Michelin Star experiences (and the one step down from that restaurants) every now and then. I'm happy to pay for them to do that once in a while, but would personally hate every bite if I was also there. It simply isn't worth the money to me personally. :)

[@dazza9326]

@@garros I really just don't get it, all the Plonks tast the same to me.

Beer for me.And lots of it 🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@Dunk1970]

@@dazza9326 Out of curiosity, do you find that all the different red and green grape varieties taste the same when you eat them as grapes? You don't find some are sweeter than others or that some have more of a bitter taste?

[@dallasgrant]

I don't drink, medical reasons, haven't for about 15 years, I also don't go out to eat at restaurants so I can't really relate to the whole wine thing. I know people obsess over it though, I guess that comes from 'the olden days' when wine was a luxury and all that, people seem to equate fancy wine with it, I dunno give me a good home cooked meal any day over a fancy restaurant and all that entails.

[@jonbolton3376]

The only time i've drank wine was at a works annual party in 2002, because it was free. My Department of 8 had 3 bottles of white and 3 of red. I drank over 2 bottles of the white during the meal part, i had one taste of red, but discovered it tasted like vinegar so realised I needed to start buying my own drinks. Still not a cheap night though thanks to 11 bottles of WKD Blue, or boozy Vimto as i call it lol.

[@helenwood8482]

I don't drink either. Never have, never will.

I was trying to eat Salted Nuts earlier. Don't try it!! Putting Salt on metal Nuts does not make them easier to eat.🧸🧸

[@garros]

LOL you'd have to open the wine to see if it was corked so they can't check beforehand. i love a nice wine and an ex partner of mine is a full-on expert with a million-dollar wine investment/collection so I learned a fair bit off him, but I'm no expert. i just know a the basics as to what goes with what and what I like. it does help to know a bit.

[@peterbabicki8252]

How would you know if it was corked, and why would that matter?

[@garros]

@@peterbabicki8252 It will have a damp, mouldy smell and taste. It's not nice. It doesn't happen with screwcaps, though, really. Other things can be wrong with the wine. Not all varieties are better when old. Some need to be quite young. So they can be basically expired as well (or too old to drink). You'll know when you taste something like that. It will just be awful.

[@4Kandlez]

That's what he was saying, why cant they open the wine to check if its ok and then bring it out. They don't bring the steak out before they cook it so you can check if its off or not.

[@garros]

@@4Kandlez Because they would have to taste your wine - ie. drink some of the bottle you've just purchased! Not OK. Someone could technically also put something in the wine before bringing it to your table. But yes, they could also do something to your food. It's just the way it's done, but also, it's up to the customer to decide, not the restaurant.

[@peterbabicki8252]

@@garros Thanks for the reply. You have to admit that there's a double standard. Your food or other drinks could be off or tampered with, but this tasting procedure only applies to wine for some reason.
