Once had a glass of wine. Suddenly detected notes of vanilla, brown sugar, a hint of caramel. Thought my palette had suddenly matured! I was a PROPER WINE PERSON! It was the chocolates that had been in the glass as part of a cheap gift set..I hadn't bothered washing it.

[@horaceosirian8993]

It's so so easy to cut wine snobs down to size if their superiority complex crosses the line from annoying to public nuisance. Just ask them to remind you what the euphemism for _"inveterate, homeless, permanently incontinent late-stage terminal, town drunk"_ is, again? Oh yes of course, it just came to me: it's _"WINO,"_ isn't it?

[@netbookeater]

Coogan looked genuinely confused at the end lol

[@kiyoaki1985]

My favorite thing about this show is how Coogan is portrayed as this fragile narcissist and Brydon the everyman just messes with his little insecurities at every moment.

I was the same way until one day I had a really good Pinot Grigio at a restaurant and realised how ignorant I'd been about wine my whole life (having only tried a load of junk and become very arrogantly opinionated on it all). I also used to think all red wine was basically the same too until I tried a good one.

[@ollybirkbeck8888]

vonteflon quotation marks mate.

[@vonteflon]

Deliberately omitted, intended as an inside joke for true fans of Steve Coogan's work, especially Alan Partridge, which is one of - if not the - best comedy characters ever created. And the wine tasting scene is one of the most famous as it sets the whole tone for the series - this is the bit that leads into Alan Partridge reeling off his TV programme ideas. If you're not sure what I'm on about, get the I'm Alan Partidge box set and watch in its entirety immediately - you can thank me later.

[@colinu9209]

This is very funny , just proves that the whole wine thing is BS .

[@vonteflon]

That last bit. I reckon Rob’s buddy was probably just saying there’s no need to “taste” - as in drink - the wine. You can tell just by sniffing it if the wine is corked. So, if you want to look like you know what you’re talking about, you can just hold up the glass to your nose, breathe in deeply and give the waiter or waitress a nod without the wine even touching your lips. My own top tip is just check first if the bottle even had a cork! A lot of good wine comes in screw-cap bottles now so literally cannot be corked, and you’ll look a right twat if you claim that it is.

[@j.a.motteux2785]

A screw-capped wine can still be "corked." It's possible for the chemical TCA (2,4,6-trichloroanisole) and its corky, nasty odors of musty, damp cellars and wet newspapers to affect a winery's entire cellar, ruining whole batches of wine-which can then be topped with a screw cap. But eliminating corks rules out one of the biggest threats of TCA contamination.

[@ac8911]

That makes a lot of sense - so essentially, you just 'smell and nod'. I appreciate the clarification
