Bottle Bitches

What's almost as good as a delicious wine? Celebrity pop-culture! In today's episode, we chat about celebrity wine while drinking celebrity wine. 

WINESUP: CARO: Rihanna filed a trademark for Fenty Estates Wine and Spirit Company. (And here's just one of the amazing times Rihanna was photographed leaving a venue with a glass of wine in hand like the absolute GODDESS that she is.) KATE: POP QUIZ. Get your buzzer sounds ready and play along! And tell us how many points you got in the comments. ANGELA: Aldi is releasing a wine advent calendar that will hit stores on 1 November and retail for £49.99. We have questions and if you do, too, you can read more about it here. (Apologies for linking to The Sun. Yuck!) 

Did you know that you can always tell us winesup with you by tagging your posts on Instagram with #Winesup?! 

THE DRINKING:We drank a Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Malbec 2014 which we bought on Amazon for 18.99. Was it worth £18.99? You gotta listen to find out! 

This Bottle Bitches episode was produced by Producer Paul (PP) of Dark Horse Digital who probably didn't cut enough of Kate out if we're being totally honest...

Ever wonder what wine to order in a pub? Before you give up and decide to order a G&T, listen up!

WINESUP: CARO: Caro read that the high speed train from Paris to Burgundy just became faster! Pack your weekend bag and let's start planning our very first international Bottle Bitches field trip. Who wants in?! KATE: Let's cut the BS on rosé: Rosé is great all the time. Stop acting like it’s a freaking trend, you Millennial-Pink-Loving-Kinfolk-Reading-Glossier-Shopping-Hipsters! (I know it sounds like Kate says "millennium pink" a few times but she swears she's saying "Millennial". Turns out articulation is hard when you're a little drunk, folks.)  ANGELA: Faux Prosecco aka Alcohol-Free Prosecco gets a thumb down from Angela. But if you know of a good alcohol-free prosecco, hit us up!

THE DRINKING:We each chose a wine off the Mount Edgcumbe wine list and made PP pick which wine we were going to drink. The winning wine was a Rioja Crianza Fincas de Azabache 2014 for £23.95, which Caro picked from the list for its balanced flavour. Bottoms up!

Look, we know we're posting this in September but guys, it's still officially summer so put on some earbuds and take a listen as we talk about summer wine whilst sipping some favourites in the cave at The Mount Edgcumbe.

WINESUPKATE: Is going on holiday to Corfu. What's the deal with drinking wine on holiday and what should we know about Greek wine? 

ANGELA: Regular wine consumption could cut your risk of developing Diabetes. How much can you guzzle & still stay in the clear? 

CARO: Lidl has launched a collection of Hungarian wines from £4.99 - £7.99. What do we think about that? 

THE DRINKINGWHAT WE'RE DRINKING:  Quinta de Azevedo Vinho Verde from Waitrose from northern Portugal that we bought at Waitrose for £8.49. (Is your favourite summer wine a creepy uncle or does it have a sexy linger?) 

The sparkling Malbec that we all talk about loving is right here. Tapiz Sparkling Malec Rosé Extra Brut NV  (I mean, look at these pictures! here & here) 

WHAT WE'RE ALSO DRINKING: A divisive South African blend, The Milkwood Shiraz Viognier which we bought at Oddbins for £8.00 (which Paul calls our Dr Seuss wine before talking about Under Milkwood, which we haven’t researched but did google and this seems like a good link? Enjoy or whatever.)

Here’s the sangria we know and love. Maybe you'll love it too?

We sat down in the cave at The Mount Edgcumbe in Tunbridge Wells and cracked open some wine whilst cracking some very off-colour jokes. Here's the stuff you need to know from this episode: 

WINESUP: CARO: Spotted Pinot Pinot Pinot Grigio Sparkling wine cans & Most Wanted wine pouches in the wild whilst loading up on booze before a camping trip. Read our thoughts on these tasty, portable and super affordable little wines right here. 

ANGELA: Waitrose has launched premium bag in box range. (Here’s one of our favourite BIB wines…) We’ll do a review soon!  Until then, here’s the picture we promised. What do you think?

KATE: is reading Cork Dork by Bianca Bosker & loving it! A review will be coming soon so keep your eye out and your glass full!

THE DRINKING:We drank a Le Petit Spencer Chateau Spencer Poujade that we bought from our cutie-pie local French delicatessen here in Tunbridge Wells, Fromage and French for £9.50. (Take a peek at the French round we photographed there!)

Corrections:When Kate says she only likes expensive red wines, she means FRENCH red wines. Obvi. And if you check her track record in our reviews, you will learn that she’s an absolute liar and actually likes most French wines. Who knew?! She certainly didn’t until becoming a Bottle Bitch.

We sat down in the cave at The Mount Edgcumbe in Tunbridge Wells and recorded our first ever podcast! Here's what happens in this episode: 

The Bottle Bitches (BBs) each brought a favourite midweek wine under £10.00 and tried to convince Producer Paul (PP) that we should open and drink our wine. 

Caro brought a bottle of Vox Populi Bobal which was £9.89. Kate brought a bottle of Asmodeus Nero d'Avola which was £9.50.Angela brought a bottle of Araldica Barbera D'Asti Superiore for a super offer price of £6.99.After popping open the winning wine, we made up a catchy song to remember the different stages of wine tasting and got to sipping! 

Stage One: Look at the colour! Stage Two: Put your nose in your glass and give it a good sniff.Stage Three: Drink that motherfucker! 

We'll be back here with episode 2 next week. Until then ✌
