Wimbledon, Pimms & Prosecco vs. Cava
7/15/202653 min
This week on Bottoms Up!
With Wimbledon wrapped up, Alan Carr and Lee Peart celebrate with a Pimms and discuss their love - or lack thereof - for tennis. Is it just a poor man's Swingball..?
Lee shares his recipe for a Turbo Pimms, while Alan reveals his infamous Power Shandy – the concoction that ended with him vomiting into a load of freshly washed clothes… which promptly had to go straight back in the machine.
Elsewhere, the boys compare zodiac signs to see if they're astrologically compatible, Lee gets emotional over a Nescafé advert from yesteryear, and Alan reveals the questionable combination he recently discovered: red wine and Skittles.
Plus, wine communicator Katie Lawton joins the boys to settle an important debate: which gives you more bang for your buck – cava or prosecco?
