A Frog, a Brit and loud American walk into a bar… they talk about (and drink) wine. Now in its second series, this hilarious podcast will have you LOLing, so be careful listening in public!
We’re donning our [Premier Cru](https://fwpbyrae.com/product/premier-cru-supersoft-sweatshirt/) jumpers and discussing one of Angela and Kate’s favourites: Pinot Noir! Not to be confused with [Peeno Noir](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6yttOfIvOw). (Soz, Caro!) **WINESUP** We discuss [this DISGUSTING and very very very old bottle of wine](https://mymodernmet.com/oldest-unopened-bottle-wine-world/). 1,650 years old, in fact. Thank u, next! **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** Rhys & Eggsy of Goldie Looking' Chain fame make a word salad out of a Welsh wine review. Thank you, chaps! **THE DRINKING** We drank an Alpataco 2017 Argentina Pinot Noir from the [Mount Edgcumbe wine list](http://www.themountedgcumbe.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Wine-List-Novemeber-2018.pdf) for £26.95.
This week, we're going Rhône! We're diving into this region with much aplomb and catching you up on what we've been doing – and drinking – for the last few months. **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** Voice actor [Rose O’Loughlin](https://www.wisebuddah.com/voices/rose-oloughlin) makes us swoon with a wanky review of Tempranillo. Congratulations on the baby, Rose!! **THE DRINKING** We enjoyed this beautiful Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2014 Clos de LOratoire des Papes that you can find at Majestic for £28.00. Check out other [wines from the Rhône](https://www.bottlebitches.com/search?q=rhone) over on our website!
Remember when we [fangirled over Fuggles](https://www.bottlebitches.com/wine-reviews/getting-fugged)? Well, this week we're talking to the Alex Greig, Director/Owner/Beer Guy at [Fuggles Beer Café](http://www.fugglesbeercafe.co.uk/) in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge. We sit down and talk to him about opening a pub, the proper way to make spag bol (or bowl), and how he decides what wines/beers/gins he puts on the menu. **WINESUP** As Alex is a beer man, we thought we'd share a beer story. And this week, we learned that someone up north somewhere [found a snake tangled up in some beer lines](https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2018/08/brewery-technician-finds-5ft-snake-in-pubs-beer-cooler/) and it's literally our worst nightmare. Or it was, until Angela told us one of her bar horror stories... Seriously, WTF dudes?! **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** Dining in the dark is wanky full-stop, but being wanky about wine _on top_ of dining in the dark is extra wanky. BUT if you know of anyone who had a positive dining in the dark experience, please hit us up.We refuse to believe that this is an enjoyable thing but are happy to hear your positive (and horror!) stories about it. **THE DRINKING** We're drinking a black forest gateau-esque De Martino Estate Carmenere from Chile, which we buy at Fuggles, but you can buy [somewhere else](https://www.ewwines.co.uk/carmenere-de-martino-chile-red-wine.html) at a very reasonable price if you don't have the pleasure of living near a Fuggles.
This week, we have our dear friend [Sula Richardson](https://www.instagram.com/sula_hoop/) on to talk about Women in Wine London, which she founded with Regina Lee (another absolute wine babe!) in 2015. We think Sula's bloody brilliant, so it was great to have her on to talk about wine, women in wine, [Women In Wine London](http://womeninwine.co.uk), WSET, and the lost art of drinking vermouth. **WINESUP** Sula gave us all the details on Covent Garden's newest wine bar, [Lady of the Grapes](https://www.ladyofthegrapes.com/). We can't wait to visit! **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** Paul reads a review of a Indian wine from Sula in a truly shocking Wolverhampton accent. **THE DRINKING** We drank a [Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2015 Louis Latour](https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/bourgogne-pinot-noir-3236) that you can get from Majestic for £14.49 but we got for free off Angela's wine rack. Thanks, Angela!
This week, we're channeling Diane Lanes and Sandra Ohs and talking about Tuscan wine. Swoooooon! **WINESUP** Kate puts on her journalist hat and gives us a run-down of the [Corkscrew app](https://www.corkscrew.co.uk/). It's not a dating app, but it could help you find a wine to buy when cruising through the aisles at Aldi or struggling to choke down a truly mediocre pizza at Prezzo. **WANKIEST GIN REVIEW OF THE WEEK** Angela re-lives a truly cringe customer experience. *Excuse me, sir, could you please stop caressing that bottle of wine.* **THE DRINKING** Whilst recording this episode, we enjoyed a Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino which we purchased from Secret Cellar for £21.00. It's made by the same producer as [the Brunello we recently reviewed](https://www.bottlebitches.com/wine-reviews/brunello-di-montalcino-il-poggione-2012) for [our Sangiovese round](https://www.bottlebitches.com/wine-reviews/?tag=Sangiovese). Isn't that cute? **HOW TO FIND A GOOD CHIANTI** Look for wines with the following words on your Chianti. **Chianti Classico** - these are wines from the heartland of the Chianti region in Tuscany. They're the OG of Chianti wines. Don't worry about ageing them, just go for it and drink them up. **Chianti Riserva** - these wines have to be aged for two years. Drink these wines now or pop them in a cellar if you have one. Your call. **Chianti Gran Selezione** - these wines have been aged for at least two and a half years and this means that these wines have more body (joyous news for Angela's creepy customer!) and ageing potential. Get thee to a cellar! **SUBREGIONS OF CHIANTI** There are several small subregions that produce their own styles of Chianti. They include Rufina or Colli Senesi, so look out for these smaller regions when buying Tuscan wines.
We have Sam and Emma, the fine folks behind [Pipehouse Gin](https://pipehousegin.com/), in the house (erm, cave) in this episode and are talking about our favourite summer spirit, gin. **WINESUP** We're getting sciency and talking about the theory that loud music might be the key ingredient in speeding up the ageing process in spirits. Something to do with molecules and all that... **WANKIEST GIN REVIEW OF THE WEEK** Turns out gin review are pretty straightforward and generally lack wankery. However, we found one that perfectly suited Paul's old man accent and it does not disappoint! **THE DRINKING** [Pipehouse Gin](https://pipehousegin.com/)! It was founded on our home turf here in Tunbridge Wells but you can buy a bottle of it on Amazon for £37.00 if you live a wee bit further afield.
That's Shakespeare, BBs*! In this quiz-tastic episode, we're talking about a grape that has two names: Zinfandel and Primotivo! **WINESUP** Forget Winesup, we have a quiz this week! Tell us how many celebrity alter-egos you knew in the comments! **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** Our first motion picture will be out in spring 2019. We'll let you know when you can pre-order tickets.
This week, we're sitting down with Adam, the man, Beyoncé lover, and food reviewer behind Good Food Tunbridge Wells. We talk about food, wine, reviewing food, reviewing wine, and eating food and drinking wine. It's fun! **WINESUP/WHAT'S WINE** We debate whether or not we have any interest in drinking the wine-flavoured water. O.Vine. (Spoiler alert: no.) **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** This week's WWRotW is equal parts philosophical and shady. We love it! **SHOUTOUT*** To our Queen, Beyoncé. We love you. (Even though she's more of a sprits drinker than a wine drinker.) *Caro is not taking part in this section. Caro does not deserve Beyoncé.
We're coming to you from the Dark Horse Digital studio in Tunbridge Wells and Kate's parents' closet in Florida. **WINESUP/WHAT'S WINE** The Helix closure is making waves in the wine world. We debate how to say it and talk about what it is. **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** The brilliant [Jayde Adams](https://jaydeadams.com/) teaches Producer Paul how to read this week's word salad/WWROTW with a seductive Bristol accent. Thank you sooo much, Jayde! You have the voice of an angel and the patience of a saint.
Hop on the wine train 'cause we're heading to California and this week we're scratching the surface on wine from America's Golden State. **WINESUP** The California wildfires last autumn were devastating but the area is now rebuilding and we hope that it will be better than ever. Do your part by [donating to relief organisations](https://www.winecountry.com/wine-country-fires-how-can-you-help-fire-relief-efforts/) that are helping to rebuild the area and by drinking plenty of wine from California! **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** A dusty cabernet needs a few more years to get into a place of service and we don't like the sound of that at all. **SHOUTOUT:** To [Robert Mondavi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mondavi) who did loads of great things for wine in America. We'll do a podcast episode about him in the future. Wine Icons here we come!! To [the hottest Chris](https://goo.gl/images/xoY4Lk) / [the best Chris](https://goo.gl/images/TiJS2a). To the lethal [Wine Guerilla Zinfandel](http://www.wineguerrilla.com/Wines/Red) that is the Sims family house wine. Drink and enjoy with caution! To Angela and Lou's eyelash extension lady. You're doing important work and we are forever grateful. ** THE DRINKING** [Edna Valley Chardonnay 2015](https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/edna-valley-chardonnay-18127) from Majestic, which we bought for £15.99. This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of Dark Horse Digital who knows how to party.
Fact: Dads love cab sav. And it turns out we do too! This week, we fire up the proverbial grill and learn more about the grape that your own father my have called the king of grapes **WINESUP** Someone has decided that there are 8 types of wine drinkers in the world. Which one are you? **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** We encouraged the fine folks who came along to our tap takeover at Fromage and French to write their very own wanky wine reviews in our cutie-pie Bottle Bitches notebook (thank you, Hello Geronimo!) and this week the hilarious London Hughes read out the winner. THANK YOU, LONDON! And thank you to whoever wrote such a wonderfully wanky review! **THE DRINKING** We enjoyed The Show, which we bought at a Marks and Spencer BP garage for £14.something but that you can buy at a normal Marks and Spencer for £13.00. Read our review of [The Show right here](https://www.bottlebitches.com/wine-reviews/2017/6/6/bb-review-the-show-cabernet-sauvignon)! This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of Dark Horse Digital who is a dad and also liked this cab sav.
In addition to announcing our forthcoming Bottle Bitches album, this week, we're learning about all things Loire. From noble rot to Muscadet, join us on a ramble through one of the the most diverse wine regions in France. **WINESUP** On last week's episode of [The High Low](https://www.acast.com/thehighlowshow/theduchessofcambridge-sproblematicpost-partummoneyshot-ismilliebobbybrowntooyoungfortime-s100list-), they discussed the perfect number of drinks to have in an evening to get you to your happy place and wake up regret-free. We talk about our numbers and are trying our very best to stick to them. **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** As wine-loving individuals who soooometimes finish a bottle of wine and sleep on our sofas, we really can't fault this review too much... except what is this guy doing with Windows 10????? **THE DRINKING** The Loire produces a shit-ton of wines and we drank three of them. They are: 1. Château de Voûte Sauvignon Blanc from which was also from Oddbins but is no longer on the website soooo here is the, like, [super official website](http://www.joeldelaunay.com/en/vins/voute.php). 2. Domaine Joël Delaunay 'L'esprit des Dames' Touraine Chenonceaux Rouge 2014 [from Oddbins](http://www.oddbins.com/domaine-joel-delaunay-touraine-chenonceaux-rouge-2014). 3. Prince Alexandre Cremant de Loire [from Waitrose](http://www.waitrosecellar.com/prince-alexandre-cremant-de-loire-817212). This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of Dark Horse Digital who has actually never listened to an episode of our podcast despite recording it with us and editing it. Imagine that!
We're tired of drinking alone, so this week we wrangled Christophe Lechevalier to pour a few back while talking to us. Not only is Christophe the owner of the most *chef's kiss* perfect accent for talking about wine and cheese, he's also the owner of Bermondsey-based wine bar, [Lechevalier](https://lechevalier.co.uk/)! Lucky for us, his stories are just as good as his wines and both were in abundance for this recording. **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** How many emojis do you need to review a wine? Well, this week's review is full of 'em! And that's not even the wankiest part.
The best thing about the cave at The Mount Edgcumbe is that the acoustics are perfect for singing. Singing The Sound of Music, to be precise. It's also great for drinking wine! And this week we're talking about Austrian wine. Prost! **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** Simon had some very expensive wines in Boston and he very much wanted you to know about it. Aren't you impressed? We aren't. **WINESUP** Kate's pretend bestie, Amy Poehler, is directing, producing, and starring in a film called Wine Country coming to a Netflix. We honestly can't wait and think we should have a BB viewing party. Kate will bring the popcorn! **THE DRINKING** Whilst discussing the ins-and-outs (and ups-and-downs) of the Austrian wine trade, we drank a Sepp Zweigelt 2015 from Austria that we bought at Thind Wine Merchants in Sevenoaks for £10.99. We also enjoyed a RABL Pinot Blanc, also from Austria, that we purchased at The Secret Cellar for £13.50. This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of Dark Horse Digital, who always reads the reviews before booking a holiday.
こんにちは! Hello to our listeners in Japan and everywhere! This week, we're talking about Chardonnay from the cave at the Mount Edgcumbe. **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK** The Queen briefly joins us, before being overtaken by a Welshman, to read a truly wanky wine review that features a bottle of 1987 Bordeaux that costs £129.95 and veal hearts. Wankery at its finest. **WINESUP** I feel bad even linking to this. I feel bad even thinking about it! But here it is: terrible "wine company" Apothic, is launching a [cold brew coffee red wine](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-5506433/Apothic-Wine-selling-wine-infused-cold-brew-coffee.html) (called Apothic Brew) which is supposed to be served cold and sounds like maybe one of the most confusing and disgusting taste experiences you could put your mouth through. Put that shit in the spittoon! **THE DRINKING** We swiffed and sipped a Chardonnay De Wetshof Estate Bon Vallon Sur Lie 2017 from South Africa that we ordered off [The Mount Edgcumbe Wine List](http://www.themountedgcumbe.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Current-Edgcumbe-Wine-List-29.03.18.pdf). (It reminded us a little bit of this [Japanese wine we reviewed](https://www.bottlebitches.com/wine-reviews/2017/6/6/bb-review-sol-lucet-koshu-2015-yamanashi-japan)!) **CLARIFICATION** Selma Blair starred in the US series of Kath and Kim alongside the illustrious Molly Shannon of Superstar fame. Though none of us ever watched it, we can only assume it wasn't nearly as funny as the original, mostly because they couldn't make jokes [like this one](https://youtu.be/iQfiDFq2PtQ).
It's almost Easter and you know what that means… Bank Holiday Boozing! This episode, we're specifically talking about Lambrusco– where it comes from, what it is, and whether you can (and should) bring it along to your spring and summertime BBQs. **WINESUP:** Jon Bon Jovi and his 23 year-old son, Jesse, have released a rosé called [Diving Into Hamptons Water](https://jezebel.com/its-your-life-its-now-or-never-to-pour-yourself-a-gl-1823404062). Dive into your own bottle and enjoy it whilst wearing a leather jacket for A++ Bon Jovi imbibing vibes! **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK:** This week's WWROTW drives home one undeniable truth: Mindless drinking is _not_ the drinking you do before a meal. It's the drinking you do three hours _after_ a meal. DUH! **THE DRINKING:** We drank an absolutely beautiful Picpoul de Pinet that Caro's mum bought for us in France and we'll probably never be able to find again. Alas. We also drank a [Lambrusco](http://www.marksandspencer.com/lambrusco-case-of-6/p/p60070311?OmnitureRedirect=lambrusco&pdpredirect) that we picked up from M&S for £9.00. This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of Dark Horse Digital who, like Jon and Jesse Bon Jovi, also thinks he looks cool in a leather jacket.
Rosé season is year-round BBs and we're diving into what it is, how it's made (and not made), and where it comes from. Angela also surprised Caro and Kate with their very first blind tasting. Don't worry, it wasn't embarrassing that it happened on a podcast for everyone to hear. Nope, not even a little bit! **WINESUP:** A bottle of [Hitler wine](https://www.metro.news/bottle-of-wine-made-for-hitler-going-under-the-hammer/963699/) was purchased by an anonymous buyer for £3,995 at auction. Whether it's real or fake, we just have this to say: Not cool, bro. Not. Cool. **WANKIEST WINE REVIEW OF THE WEEK**: This week's WWROTW reminds us not to project our feelings on the people we love and lost onto bottles of Pinotage. Seriously, advice to live by. **THE DRINKING:** We're drinking a selection of three rosés that we're rolling out for our rosé round on the site (read our review of a [Les Ruettes Sancerre Rosé](https://www.bottlebitches.com/wine-reviews/les-ruettes-sancerre-ros-2016)!). We also drank a From Sunday carbonic Pinot Gris from Lechevalier and a Chateau Sainte Croix Charmeur Cotes du Provence Rosé, reviews of both will be on the website in coming weeks so stay tuned! **NOTE:** This is the story of [how chocolate chip cookies were invented](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_chip_cookie). Their founder, Ruth Graves Wakefield, wasn't married to the president, but she definitely deserves some kind of award for her contribution to American culinary culture. This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of [Dark Horse Digital](http://www.darkhorsedigital.co.uk/) who is definitely funky but in a really good way. Promise! Have you subscribed to this podcast over in Apple Podcasts yet?! Have you followed us on facebook and instagram yet? Do it do it!
This week, we're talking all about wine blends. What exactly is a blend? Well, it's kinda like science but with wine. You put a little of this and a little bit of that into a bottle, and if it all works out it's totally delicious. (If you actually want to know what a wine blend is, listen up and get learning!)
Welcome to Season 2 of Bottle Bitches! We know, we know... you didn't realise Season 1 was done. You didn't even know that we had seasons! Well, surprise! We do. And this is the start of the second one. In this episode, we're unveiling some new segments and answering some of your most pressing wine questions. Put in your earbuds, pour out a glass, and get listening!
POP QUIZ: What's the difference between Syrah and Shiraz? You have 10 minutes to answer in the comments and your time.... starts.... now! ✍️⏱ Okay, time's up. The correct answer is that Syrah and Shiraz are– oh, wait. You gotta listen to the whole episode to find out! Listen up and get ready to be wine-schooled.
Are y'all doing Dry January this week? We're not. (But you already knew that, didn't you?) With Christmas behind us and taxes on the horizon, we've found that our pockets are half empty though our glasses are half full. This week, we're talking about budget wines and sipping something that costs £7.00, but does it taste like a million bucks?!
New Year, new wine. But same old Bottle Bitches! This episode, we talk about our wine-related resolutions for 2018 and drink three wines that will be rolling out in our reviews these next three weeks. Now that is something to toast to!
We're saying fauquet to 2017 (while drinking some Le Fauquet Gigondas, which you can read about here) and are getting ready to ring in the New Year with lots of fizz and good cheer.
Ring-a-ding-ding! The holidays are upon us and you know what that means... WINE. We're chatting about everything from the most wine-tastic gifts to the perfect bottle to pair with a festive feast. ❄️
Our special guest, Sarah, joins us for a second week and we took the opportunity to talk about her favourite wine region: Bordeaux.
We have a special guest aboard today's podcast and it's Angela's good friend Sarah! She's a wine-whizz who studied at Plumpton College and now works as a flight attendant for a major airline. Sarah gave us the 411 on the wines we chug whilst we watch movies we wouldn't normal watch and endure hours on end sitting too close to strangers in the aluminium fart tanks that takes us from point A to B.
Get on your spandex on and get ready for the Beaujolais Run!
This month, we're talking (and learning) about biodynamic wine.
If you didn't get enough New Zealand wine info last week, you're in luck! We're discussing them again this week and we're also playing our new favourite game, A Game of Wine: The POSH People's Drinking Game, which Angela got as a secret santa present a few years years ago. NOTE: Please only listen to this episode if you are really and truly POSH. WINESUP: No #WinesUp this week, but did you know that you can tell us #WinesUp with you any time you like by using the tag #WinesUp on Instagram or Twitter? Use the tag to tell us what you're drinking or whatever the heck you want! THE DRINKING:We drank a bottle of Nanny Goat Pinot Noir which you can buy from Waitrose for £19.99 but we got it on offer for £14.99, natch! We also drank a Wild Rock Hawkes Bay Red which we purchased from Oddbins for £15.50. This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of Dark Horse Digital. He would also like to make sure everyone listening to this episode knows who Jedward is. You're welcome. If you like this episode, please subscribe to our podcast in Apple Podcast, rate us (⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ) and tell us how many questions you got right playing the game along with us!
Welcome to Part One of our two-part podcast special on New Zealand wines. Listen to learn about Kate's love of Lord of the Rings and why New Zealanders are called Kiwis. (Hint: it's not the fruit.) WINESUP: CARO: Üllo wine filters & Lidl’s hangover-free Prosecco. Do you believe the hype? ANGELA: Champagne on ice. It has a bit more sugar and a lot more cold. Would you sip it? KATE: Our hearts are breaking for the winemakers in California who are rebuilding after the devastating fires that swept through Napa and Sonoma. If you would like to help, you can do so here.
What's almost as good as a delicious wine? Celebrity pop-culture! In today's episode, we chat about celebrity wine while drinking celebrity wine. WINESUP: CARO: Rihanna filed a trademark for Fenty Estates Wine and Spirit Company. (And here's just one of the amazing times Rihanna was photographed leaving a venue with a glass of wine in hand like the absolute GODDESS that she is.) KATE: POP QUIZ. Get your buzzer sounds ready and play along! And tell us how many points you got in the comments. ANGELA: Aldi is releasing a wine advent calendar that will hit stores on 1 November and retail for £49.99. We have questions and if you do, too, you can read more about it here. (Apologies for linking to The Sun. Yuck!) Did you know that you can always tell us winesup with you by tagging your posts on Instagram with #Winesup?! THE DRINKING:We drank a Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Malbec 2014 which we bought on Amazon for 18.99. Was it worth £18.99? You gotta listen to find out! This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of Dark Horse Digital who probably didn't cut enough of Kate out if we're being totally honest... If you haven't already, please subscribe to our podcast in Apple Podcast, rate us (⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ) and tell PP how much you love him in a review. DO IT DO IT.
After almost an entire month apart (
Ever wonder what wine to order in a pub? Before you give up and decide to order a G&T, listen up! WINESUP: CARO: Caro read that the high speed train from Paris to Burgundy just became faster! Pack your weekend bag and let's start planning our very first international Bottle Bitches field trip. Who wants in?! KATE: Let's cut the BS on rosé: Rosé is great all the time. Stop acting like it’s a freaking trend, you Millennial-Pink-Loving-Kinfolk-Reading-Glossier-Shopping-Hipsters! (I know it sounds like Kate says "millennium pink" a few times but she swears she's saying "Millennial". Turns out articulation is hard when you're a little drunk, folks.) ANGELA: Faux Prosecco aka Alcohol-Free Prosecco gets a thumb down from Angela. But if you know of a good alcohol-free prosecco, hit us up! Tell us WinesUp with you by tagging your posts on Instagram with #Winesup! THE DRINKING:We each chose a wine off the Mount Edgcumbe wine list and made PP pick which wine we were going to drink. The winning wine was a Rioja Crianza Fincas de Azabache 2014 for £23.95, which Caro picked from the list for its balanced flavour. Bottoms up! This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) at Dark Horse Digital. Please subscribe to our podcast in Apple Podcast, rate us and leave us a comment. But only if it's nice. We might be Bottle Bitches, but we have very thin skin and don't need negative reviews to give us another reason to drink...
Look, we know we're posting this in September but guys, it's still officially summer so put on some earbuds and take a listen as we talk about summer wine whilst sipping some favourites in the cave at The Mount Edgcumbe. WINESUPKATE: Is going on holiday to Corfu. What's the deal with drinking wine on holiday and what should we know about Greek wine? ANGELA: Regular wine consumption could cut your risk of developing Diabetes. How much can you guzzle & still stay in the clear? CARO: Lidl has launched a collection of Hungarian wines from £4.99 - £7.99. What do we think about that? THE DRINKINGWHAT WE'RE DRINKING: Quinta de Azevedo Vinho Verde from Waitrose from northern Portugal that we bought at Waitrose for £8.49. (Is your favourite summer wine a creepy uncle or does it have a sexy linger?) The sparkling Malbec that we all talk about loving is right here. Tapiz Sparkling Malec Rosé Extra Brut NV (I mean, look at these pictures! here & here) WHAT WE'RE ALSO DRINKING: A divisive South African blend, The Milkwood Shiraz Viognier which we bought at Oddbins for £8.00 (which Paul calls our Dr Seuss wine before talking about Under Milkwood, which we haven’t researched but did google and this seems like a good link? Enjoy or whatever.) Here’s the sangria we know and love. Maybe you'll love it too? This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul of Dark Horse Digital.

We might be Bottle Bitches, but we have very thin skin and don't need negative reviews to give us another reason to drink...
We sat down in the cave at The Mount Edgcumbe in Tunbridge Wells and cracked open some wine whilst cracking some very off-colour jokes. Here's the stuff you need to know from this episode: WINESUP: CARO: Spotted Pinot Pinot Pinot Grigio Sparkling wine cans & Most Wanted wine pouches in the wild whilst loading up on booze before a camping trip. Read our thoughts on these tasty, portable and super affordable little wines right here. ANGELA: Waitrose has launched premium bag in box range. (Here’s one of our favourite BIB wines…) We’ll do a review soon! Until then, here’s the picture we promised. What do you think? KATE: is reading Cork Dork by Bianca Bosker & loving it! A review will be coming soon so keep your eye out and your glass full! Tell us WinesUp with you by tagging your posts on Instagram with #Winesup! THE DRINKING:We drank a Le Petit Spencer Chateau Spencer Poujade that we bought from our cutie-pie local French delicatessen here in Tunbridge Wells, Fromage and French for £9.50. (Take a peek at the French round we photographed there!) Corrections:When Kate says she only likes expensive red wines, she means FRENCH red wines. Obvi. And if you check her track record in our reviews, you will learn that she’s an absolute liar and actually likes most French wines. Who knew?! She certainly didn’t until becoming a Bottle Bitch.

We might be Bottle Bitches, but we have very thin skin and don't need negative reviews to give us another reason to drink...
We sat down in the cave at The Mount Edgcumbe in Tunbridge Wells and recorded our first ever podcast! Here's what happens in this episode: The Bottle Bitches (BBs) each brought a favourite midweek wine under £10.00 and tried to convince Producer Paul (PP) that we should open and drink our wine. Caro brought a bottle of Vox Populi Bobal which was £9.89. Kate brought a bottle of Asmodeus Nero d'Avola which was £9.50.Angela brought a bottle of Araldica Barbera D'Asti Superiore for a super offer price of £6.99.After popping open the winning wine, we made up a catchy song to remember the different stages of wine tasting and got to sipping! Stage One: Look at the colour! Stage Two: Put your nose in your glass and give it a good sniff.Stage Three: Drink that motherfucker! We'll be back here with episode 2 next week. Until then ✌
