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.
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?
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.
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.
vonteflon that's entire joke of the sketch. Rob putting on this false, pretentious bravado, signifying how stupid it is that people place so much pressure on wine tasting.
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.
There isn’t really a point to check a wine that has been previously opened and half empty. Just when you have opened it is when it’s required to check it
Do not know where they are located drinking wine. Surprised to know England has several wine producing areas in the south of the country. They produce mainly sparkling wines.
For many years, I tried the wine in restaurants, and would say, "Mm, delicious," or some such. Saw this clip, and the very next time I took my wife to dinner, when the time came, I tasted the wine, nodded gravely, and muttered "Not corked, that's fine." What a phony!
This video was posted 10 years ago. I’m not sure when it originally aired. But I do know this. That French server with black hair and sideburns is now a bald man.
The english one is meant to be Coogan's assitant. The foreign one is meant to be a photographer taking promo photos (and eventually Coogan's love interest).

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.
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.
I think it is all in the game. What I appreciate so much in these banters is the mutual joy. I enjoy WILTY especially for the banters between David, Rob and Lee. Cheers and enjoy 👍🏻🤝🏻🇳🇱
the implicit anger between them is always hilarious
When Rob Brydon does his Partridge impression, it gets me every single time. "Oh yes, that's very nice, that's a very nice wiiiiine"
Spot on aswell 😂😂
Made him look like a complete hick lmao
"I don't need the nod and the wink everytime" 😂😂😂
jahaahhaaha
"I was telling him how you've been struggling", lol.
Steve’s genuine attempt at tasting “testing” the wine was the finest acting I’ve seen in a long while.
that is so perfect.... these interactions are golden.
These 2 together 😂
Total genius.
A suggestion of celery.
With Trevor Eve, Thursdays at nine, on BBC1
the name of my band
Ooh that's good, we should be writing this down...
_Now _*_that_*_ is glass of white wine._
Don’t-don’t lower yourself…
I've never heard Brydon do an impression of Coogan. pretty good!
"And that, is a glass of, white wine.."
"Thank you Steve, as my colleague was saying, it's a glass of white wine.."
Brydon is the "I" to Coogan's Withnail
Their Rigsby was brilliant haha. Rising Damp is my favourite comedy series.
I lost it at Rigsby part
After Anzio, every day's a bonus...
Don’t know who that is ⁉️
Rigsby is a character in Rising Damp played by Leonard Rossiter, classic UK 70s sitcom stuff
Brilliant ! These two remind me of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore
Dudley, and Peter. Peter and Dudley, and Dudley and Peter.

1:40 he does a better partridge than steve coogan
*tastes wine*
An effervescent transgression with undertones of homeopathy.
_"Flaccid, yet absurd"_ is a little gem I always remembered from Robin Williams standup (Live at the Met, possibly, but don't quote me on that).
3:33 me every time I taste a glass of white wine

Coogan looked genuinely confused at the end lol

Omg the Leonard Rossiter was brilliant
‘Suggestion of celery’ 😂😂😂😂
"You looked like an eighteenth-century fop!"
This is an escape from real life
Do you know what this wine tastes of? Chewits!
So what if it is corked?
I don’t know, he didn’t say
You get these wine people though, don’t you? Ooh this one’s got a snazzy bouquet! Oh this one tastes of, er, basil.
vonteflon that's entire joke of the sketch. Rob putting on this false, pretentious bravado, signifying how stupid it is that people place so much pressure on wine tasting.
My comment is a quote from I'm Alan Partridge, the show Steve Coogan's most famous for:

vonteflon quotation marks mate.

@@vonteflon This comment sounds almost as pretentious as the ppl who do wine tastings.
"what kind of crisp?"
'Smoky bacon', without hesitation by Rob. Love it.
The waiter’s like that weird chic guy from Beverley Hills Cop.
Serge
I really want a glass of wine now...
Who are they doing starting at 3:15? I’m American.
A character called Rigsby from a sitcom called Rising Damp (70s).
Zach, I know it's a year on but if you haven't already done so, look up Rising Damp on UA-cam. One of the greatest English comedies ever.
5:27 Steve Merchant cameo.
Smerch. Eyes bulging as usual.
@ riches, thoroughly imagined.
That was camp!
All wine is light fruity and easy to follow...
That french boy is a sommelier and a half easy to follow😂😂
4:37 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those wine tasting bits in a social gathering get you proper tipsy after the 2nd/3rd glass
This is gold 😂, very educational 😊
What show was this originally from?
I find some pickle and a shot of vodka post or pre meal excellent.
at 3:09 i have no fucking clue what they are saying but i love it
A waiter should never serve you with the bottle already opened and glasses poured. Tut Tut.
0:07 Mr Boom Mic makes an appearance two times.
good eye
The chemistry is so good It can’t be scripted?
It is scripted. Great chemistry nonetheless.
@@louisatkinson2514 It's retro-scripted at most, maybe a few lines of actual dialogue. Mostly improvisation.
There isn’t really a point to check a wine that has been previously opened and half empty. Just when you have opened it is when it’s required to check it
Who is the woman next to Steve at 7:01 ? 🤔
Claire Keelan
@@vikingfortiesfaeroes Thanks! 🙏 I recognised the face but couldn't think where! Now you've given me the name I know it was Nathan Barley
Do not know where they are located drinking wine. Surprised to know England has several wine producing areas in the south of the country. They produce mainly sparkling wines.
Hilaroius. Very talented actors!
Lidl and Aldi now present good wine at modest prices. M and S too have the occasional price slash on v. good wine.
2:03 Me showing my appreciation of this video
6:45 threw him all the way under the bus in front of the ladies haha
Brydon does an immaculate Pacino
As does Coogan, they're very gifted impressionists.
if somebody reacted to the wine like that with me I'd have to leave the restaurant
Is this from the DVD?
I would love to join these guys for drinks and a meal. Would learn a lot between the hysterics!
For many years, I tried the wine in restaurants, and would say, "Mm, delicious," or some such. Saw this clip, and the very next time I took my wife to dinner, when the time came, I tasted the wine, nodded gravely, and muttered "Not corked, that's fine." What a phony!
Tastes like the back of an LA school bus!
An inference of elder berries
This video was posted 10 years ago. I’m not sure when it originally aired. But I do know this. That French server with black hair and sideburns is now a bald man.
I would enjoy being a masked voiceless observer of their existences for eternity
My wife makes fun of me because this is how I handled wine tasting for years, I'd go "oh that's very nice indeed"
To be fair you suck if this is something you understand
I don't need a nod and a wink. With Trevor Eve, Wednesday at nine.
Extreme Tasting, with Trevor Eve. Friday at nine, on BBC One.
What if it was a comedy? What if it was a comedy called Tasting Predicament, with Trevor Eve. Friday at 9, on BBC1.
Corked most of the wines I drink are twist off...
Actually I have a cellar, not much in it, a mattress and a couple of traffic cones.
This wine tastes of CHEWITS!
Suggestion of celery
you should be writing this down, this is gold
why do i feel like theres a fight about to break out at any minute?? :D
The brace of Rigsbys. 👌👌
He could have let it breath Chief Brody!
And maybe a little less than a pint at a time..
"Breath .. breath in the air .."
Who are the women?
The english one is meant to be Coogan's assitant. The foreign one is meant to be a photographer taking promo photos (and eventually Coogan's love interest).

easy to follow 😂😂😂
Half a bottle of Blue Nun please....
Is it just the accent or are all English people like some version of Monty Python?
Welsh and Irish
@@Reprodestruxion Coogan doesn't have an Irish accent - although his parents were from Ireland he was born and raised in Manchester. He's English.
TURN THE VOLUME UP PLEAS ?
18th century fop?
At the risk of sounding like a pretentious tosser,the naturalism of their performance is astounding,.also damn funny.
So funny
They came to my pub,
Which pub
Does this make sense
Too much wine tasting -not enough Michael Caine
That's fine, fill 'er up
But brydon was wrong on this one. you only smell the wine to see if its corcked. you dont taaste it.
She was ONLY fifteen years old !!!
You’re only supposed to check if it’s bloody corked!!!
the end is xD
Mmmmm, I'm getting...........mmmmmm, I'm getting.........pissed!
This is very funny , just proves that the whole wine thing is BS .
it's fine 😐
lmao@ french waiter accent
Yikes. Headache maker
Wine can give headaches. Red more so.
Vote up if you've been tasting wine Coogan Style for your entire life

That makes a lot of sense - so essentially, you just 'smell and nod'. I appreciate the clarification
Interesting Steve coogan cant take a joke too well
I think it is all in the game. What I appreciate so much in these banters is the mutual joy.
I enjoy WILTY especially for the banters between David, Rob and Lee.
Cheers and enjoy 👍🏻🤝🏻🇳🇱
There is comedy in this I guess.
It's excellent comedy.
I love all the snooty snobby wine talk!!
Just drink it and shut up already______
You suppose to swirl it around and sniff it
I’m getting, I’m getting, I’m getting……pissed!
That was camp!
