Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee Peart

Harry Styles' Short Shorts, Lee’s Moved Out & Wines From Around The World

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are back at The Gore Hotel, sipping their signature cocktail from the iconic Bar 190, where The Rolling Stones famously hosted some of their wildest parties. With a heatwave in full swing, the boys are heading to see short-shorts superstar Harry Styles. But just how short is too short? Long, short or downright slutty? After weeks of living under the same roof, Lee has finally moved out of Alan's house. Faced with an empty flat containing little more than a bed, can Alan help Lee figure out his interior design style? Plus, wine writer Sunny Hodge (@sunnyhodgewine) joins the boys to chat about his book, The Cynic's Guide to Wine. He explains why wine doesn’t actually taste like grapes and introduces Alan and Lee to bottles from China, the Czech Republic and Georgia, proving there’s a whole world of wine beyond the supermarket shelf.

Smoke Alarms, Spittoons & Wine School!

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan Carr and Lee Peart head to Wine School at the WSET School, where they're put to the test to find out whether they've actually learned anything so far... Elsewhere, Lee's still living with Alan, and they're still fighting over the recycling. Lee's also been using Alan's posh candles, while some late-night smoke alarm drama has left them both exhausted. With the boys back at school, the pair reminisce about their own school days – from Alan befriending the dinner ladies, Lee getting a bit too familiar with his teachers and both revealing their first crushes. Then, wine expert and teacher Shane Jones shows the boys how to taste wine properly, including the all-important slurping technique, before introducing them to something they've never encountered before... a spittoon.
