Our WINE(S) OF THE YEAR!

WOTY?! Don't mind if we do... Welcome to our TASTIEST show of the year (and that's saying something!)

In 2022 we're focusing on value to give you some ideas of delicious but affordable wines to suit the season's revelry.

No spoilers but we've got wines from France, Spain, Italy, Argentina, South Africa, USA, New Zealand - even Austria and England. (We did start off with just one Wine of the Year but couldn't help ourselves throwing a few more outstanding wines into the mix...)

Dive in to find out what we've chosen! But this show isn't just about wine recommendations. This year we're featuring some of your (often funny, always thought-provoking) feedback and questions.

We touch on whether Wine Blast sends babies to sleep, how a champagne-Sauternes cocktail is better than paracetamol, why a storage fire inspired better drinking habits, how we saved a listener's wine treasures, what ISN'T hipster wine and whether or not it's a good idea to let wines breathe.

Not only that, but we discover - via a listener's brilliant question about what constitutes a 'silly money' wine - an entire Wine Blast episode that was never aired because.....we forgot all about it.

We blame the wine.

In the midst of all this chaos, Susie touches on the importance of ageing disgracefully, Peter talks tasting with giraffes, we weigh up an alternative career as agony aunts and somehow find time to recommend everything from a value cremant to a red that's like 'aged claret on speed'. There's even the odd magnum in the mix. As well as sherry. There's always sherry.

Looking ahead, we'd love to hear your thoughts on subjects to tackle in our inimitable style in 2023 - so do get in touch! Let us know your thoughts on Instagram or Twitter. Or send us a voice message via Speakpipe.
