Alan Carr tries to become a wine connoisseur: best podcasts of the week

For his latest foray into the world of wine, comedian Lee Peart joined forces with Alan Carr on a podcast that promises to be a 'drinker's delight'. The pair, who have long been mates, set off on a journey of discovery as they explore various vintages and delve into reader dilemmas.

Throughout their conversation, Tom Gilbey, a wine expert who joins them for the tasting session, is also joined by Lee. Tom will also help Alan Carr answer some questions from listeners regarding his own drinking preferences.

A funnier side to the show is when Peart tries to get Carr's 'go-to' drink. When Peart says he wants to "get him back on white", a reference that seems familiar, it becomes apparent this isn't exactly what Carr anticipated.

omg i dont really drink wine lol but i just started watching these podcasts with my friends and its so funny Alan Carr is hilarious i think its cool they invited Tom Gilbey to help answer questions from listeners tho that sounds like a lot of work anyway i was thinking maybe we should try a wine tasting night at our place its always fun with food and games what do you guys think?

I love how these comedians are exploring something as nuanced and complex as wine, but at the same time, they're making it about having fun and being silly together . It's like, on one hand, you've got the expertise of Tom Gilbey, who's all about the science and history behind the wines... and then you've got Alan Carr, just being his usual charming self, trying to keep a straight face .

It makes me think about how we often seek out these sorts of experiences that challenge our perspectives or make us feel uncomfortable – like trying new foods or drinks. It's almost like we're seeking out those "aha" moments where everything clicks into place and we see the world in a different way . But what if, instead of going all out on something like wine, we start small? Like, just trying new things in our own daily lives... maybe taking a different route to work or trying a new hobby? It's all about finding that balance between exploration and comfort .

I'm low-key excited for this podcast! Alan Carr and Lee Peart always bring the laughs, but adding Tom Gilbey as a wine expert will definitely make for some interesting conversations . I love how they're going to tackle reader dilemmas too - it's great that they're making the show interactive . As for me, I'm more of a beer person myself, but I appreciate a good wine night every now and then . It'll be fun to see what kind of drinks they come up with when Peart tries to get Carr back on white... maybe we can learn something new from them too

omg i'm so down for this podcast!!! lee peart and alan carr are like the ultimate comedy duo and now they're teaming up with tom gilbey to get all tipsy and have a blast . can't wait to hear more about their wine adventures and see if they can really get carr to drink some white wine again lol also, love that it's not just for wine enthusiasts, the podcast seems like it's gonna be super relaxed and fun

I'm low-key excited for this podcast thingy, but I've got some doubts . I mean, Alan Carr's always been hilarious, and Lee Peart's a great comedian too... but wine? I don't know if I'd tune in just for that alone . The idea of Tom Gilbey joining them as a wine expert sounds cool, but I'm not sure how much expertise he'll bring to the table . And what's up with Peart trying to get Carr to drink white again? Did he think that was some inside joke they shared? Either way, I'll definitely be listening for their chemistry alone ... and maybe if there are some good wine jokes

I'm so done with celebrity podcasts . Can't we just watch them make fun of themselves on TV instead? I mean, who needs a whole podcast when you can just have a funny sketch on Saturday Night Live? And another thing, why do they need to have a wine expert on the show? It's not like it's going to make their comedy any better. I bet the only reason Tom Gilbey is there is because he's got some connections with the winery or something . And what's up with Alan Carr trying to get Lee Peart to drink white wine? Can't he just stick to his cocktails like a normal guy?

I'm so down for a podcast like this! Who wouldn't wanna hang out with Lee Peart and Alan Carr over some wine? It's always great to see mates having a laugh and exploring their interests together. I love how they're also getting Tom Gilbey in on the action, it'll be awesome to hear his expert opinions too! And omg, Lee trying to get Alan back into drinking white wine is so funny, gotta tune in for that part! The fact that it's a 'drinker's delight' too suggests they're gonna have some good times and maybe even learn something new about wine. Can't wait to give this a listen!

omg i'm so down for this podcast lol Alan Carr and Lee Peart teaming up sounds like such a funny combo I love how they're gonna have each other answer questions from listeners too, that's gotta be entertaining But i'm curious about the wine tasting sessions are we gonna get any epic fails or hilarious reactions from Carr? and btw who's this Tom Gilbey guy, hoping he brings some expert vibes to the table
