This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee kick things off with a red wine and cola cocktail, but Alan is dubious. Will this unlikely concoction work, or will it be another culinary disaster on the scale of his infamous chicken tikka lasagne? Elsewhere, Lee's raging about the sugar tax and the ever-shrinking size of his favourite chocolate bars, while Alan reveals how he entertained himself as a student without a TV… with a little help from the Argos catalogue. The boys discuss Alan's time on the new series of The Masked Singer, baffling supermarket slogans, and the burning question: how exactly did Alan end up posting a stool sample through the door of a travel agent?! Plus, Cheese & Wine Expert Jessica Summer (@mouseandgrape) joins the boys with a selection of delicious pairings. But which combination proves so emotional that it sees Lee breaking down in tears?

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are back at Vagabond Urban Winery, where they’re joined by Aleesha Hansel to explore wines that are good for the world. Lee is feeling nervous this week after announcing his first solo tour! What advice can Alan offer, and what happens when they’re both playing in the same city on the same night?! Catch Lee on tour from April - tickets available from leepeart.net/tour. Alan’s been reading a book about stocks and shares, and it’s left him clueless about some of life’s biggest questions – from finances and VAT to, most importantly, ITV’s The Chase. Can Lee explain the rules so Alan can finally relax and enjoy his favourite tea-time quiz show? Wine expert Aleesha (@aleeshahansel) has brought along a selection of wines with a feel-good factor - from canned wine and wine in cardboard bottles to a bottle you can actually post back once you’ve finished drinking it. But will any of them win the boys over?

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 clichéd voiceover roles he’s 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.

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee take on a series of drinking games, from ‘Lady Gargle’ to ‘Naked Attraction: The Wine Edition’ and ‘The Secret Sommelier’. But can they really tell the difference between a £22 bottle of wine and one costing just £6? Elsewhere, the boys reminisce about their childhood crushes. Alan reveals he was once enamoured with the Jack of Clubs on a lonely day in Northampton, while Lee had a thing for Hercules… but only once he’d beefed up. And in showbiz news, Alan is about to become a movie star, starring alongside Rita Ora in a new animated film. He plays a lyrically challenged royal scribe and narrator - but can Lee give him some singing tips?

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are joined by Big Brother and Strictly star Will Best - and he’s brought his very own range of Bloody Marys along with him for the boys to try. But can Will win over Alan with them or is he about to be evicted from the Bottoms Up! drinks table? Will reveals his love for the tomato juice cocktail, why he decided to create his own canned version and how he - thankfully - avoided botulism… Elsewhere, Lee’s got another game up his sleeve with ‘What The Bloody Hell Is In This?’, Will gives the boys the latest goss from the Big Brother house and Alan shares about the time he spent the day inside it and discovered some rather questionable stains around the place.  Catch Will on Big Brother nightly on ITV2 and ITVX and Strictly Come Dancing Saturday nights on BBC One from 19th September.

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee go head to head with their biggest nemesis… orange wine! Will the boys FINALLY find one they don’t want to pour straight down the sink? They’re joined by wine expert Charles Cornelius from Barks Wine in Sheffield, and he's asking them to give it one more chance. Charles also shares some advice on the ideal date drink and tries to convince us that English sparkling wine goes perfectly with a pork bap (thanks to Rogue Sarnies for these DELICIOUS sandwiches).  Plus, the boys discuss their run-ins with the press as Lee’s been making national headlines this week, for all the wrong reasons.  Drinks Featured:58 & Co.

The boys learn that there’s a Martini for everyone, but just how dirty do they like it? Elsewhere, Alan’s been announced as a judge on the new series of The Masked Singer and hints at what’s to come, Lee’s torn a tendon trying to recycle a cardboard box and who has the higher score on WikiFeet? It’s Cocktail Time as Carmen takes the boys through the Five D’s of making the perfect martini: Drink, Dry, Dirty, Dilute, and Dress - but things go awry in classic Bottoms Up! style when Lee chokes on his pickled onion and Alan dribbles brine down his shirt.

With a heatwave in full swing, the boys are heading to see short-shorts superstar Harry Styles. But just how short is too short? Long, short or downright slutty?

Faced with an empty flat containing little more than a bed, can Alan help Lee figure out his interior design style?  Plus, wine writer Sunny Hodge (@sunnyhodgewine) joins the boys to chat about his book, The Cynic's Guide to Wine.

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.
