An Idiot’s Guide to Wine in Liverpool is a different kind of comedy night, where the city’s legendary Scouse wit meets a high-energy stand-up show with wine-tasting. The show, designed by an acclaimed comic (also a wine expert), has been a huge hit in Australia and New Zealand, and is now in the U.K. It’s for anyone who enjoys a tipple and a giggle and would love a global tour of the grapevine. So, whether you’re a total amateur or one of those people who’s always talking about tannins, there’s no better way to enjoy a night out than with a punchline and a pour.

An Idiot’s Guide to Wine is the least pretentious 75-minute portal into the world of wine, blending giggles with grapes one glass at a time.

This isn’t just another night at the pub. It’s an immersive session, designed by Aussie comedian Merrick Watts, the only comedian (that we know of) with a Wine & Spirit Education Trust level 3 qualification and packed with global facts and food-pairing tips. The perfect plan for curious couples, best mates, or anyone who thinks a “tasting notes” lecture sounds like watching paint dry. The timing is expertly tuned for the busy adult (and those of us who still cherish a 10PM bedtime).
