This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee head to Vagabond Urban Winery in Surrey Quays to get stuck into some actual wine making - and things get very messy.
Alan fills Lee in on the NTAs, where he picked up the Special Recognition Award, complete with a surprise musical tribute from Paloma Faith, Amanda Holden and⌠Kate Garraway.
Over an Autumnal Aperol Spritz, Lee reveals the slightly clichĂŠd voiceover roles heâs always being booked for, Alan recalls the time a Ouija board accidentally outed him, and Lee tells the story of visiting a particularly aggressive clairvoyant after a brutal break-up.
Drag and wine duo Beth Brickenden and Vanity Von Glow join the boys for some serious wine tasting⌠and some decidedly less serious wine making, as Alan and Lee get elbow-deep in fermenting grapes and discover exactly what goes on inside an urban winery.
