Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart
Platform Media
SummaryBottoms Up! with Alan Carr and Lee Peart is the ultimate podcast for anyone who loves a good glass of wine but is tired of the stuffy, intimidating rules that often come with it. Join comedians and best friends Alan and Lee as they host an irreverent, hilarious, and refreshingly honest look at the world of viticulture. Whether they are deep-diving into the nuances of a premium Malbec, testing out questionable wine gadgets, or demystifying the labels at your local supermarket, the duo approaches every bottle with their signature wit and lack of pretension. Each episode is a delightful blend of casual catch-ups, celebrity guest appearances—from fellow comedy legends like Graham Norton and Judi Love to industry insiders and etiquette experts—and the pair’s own chaotic life updates. You will hear them tackle listener dilemmas, explore the growing world of lower-alcohol alternatives, and learn the basics of wine tasting without ever losing the fun. The show is fundamentally about connection and accessibility; it is less about becoming a certified sommelier and more about celebrating the joy of sharing a drink and a laugh. With Alan and Lee, you get the perfect pairing: expert-led education served with a heavy splash of gossip, nostalgia, and candid banter. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass, and settle in for some real wine wisdom that refuses to take itself too seriously.
