I Put A £1,000 Wine In A Blender
This week I've done something that may genuinely get me banned from Bordeaux.
The internet is full of wine "hacks", gadgets and tips that supposedly make wine taste better. Some sound sensible. Some sound ridiculous. And one of them involved putting a very expensive bottle of wine in a blender.
So naturally, I gave it a go.
Along the way I'm testing a selection of wine gadgets, trying some questionable techniques and attempting to work out whether any of them actually improve what's in your glass... or whether they're complete and utter nonsense.
Featuring one £1,000 bottle of Bordeaux, a blender, several moments of regret and a few surprising results.
