About the show

Where journalists, politicians and politicos share their stories over great wines. Each week wine educator and former BBC political producer Abbie Bennington sits down with journalists, politicians, and politicos to uncork the wines to match defining moments of their careers. For every story told, Abbie pairs a wine from the same vintage or a style they enjoy. Guests also give us an insight into their lives by revealing their midweek supermarket tipple (strictly for show) and take on the ultimate challenge: guessing the current price of a wine from their birth year.
