Not really - most of the 'tasting' aspect is done through the nose. The buds on the tongue play a supporting role. Here's the link to Jancis saying it - she's a Master of Wine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGt4nPJySYs |

I think James was referring to a whole new series. He said there wouldn't be one this year. They filmed the last three series in August and they are not doing one this year obviously.
I'll tweet Oz, maybe he'll answer this one. (He often does in case you need any advice about wine. )

There isn't a whole new series until next year. It's just a one off for Christmas this year, so Oz said.

No wonder I didn't get a Google Alert for this - some pillock can't spell Oz's surname!

Probably not the New Year, maybe later on. Depends if James and Oz go to Oz or somewhere later on in the growing season.

If they don't put Oz into a little elf outfit with green shoes that curl up at the toes, I will be very disappointed.

Will this show be about wines from Oz because James said that he was going to some vine yards when he goes down under for TG live?

It's a Christmas special, so it will very likely deal with the stuff British people traditionally drink at that time of the year.
Expect a lot of eggnog. ;D

Actually, I'd be surprised if a lot of people knew what it was. I made some for a Christmas party a few years ago. Getting people to try it was hard, but once they did, they mostly liked it. Especially the girl who absconded with the jug and a couple of straws and ended up with a very sore tummy and a very sore head! |

I'm having some doubts whether this programme is still on. There is no mention of it on the BBc Press Office's website and they have mentioned every other upcoming Christmas special.  Anyone got some more info? |

More bad news, I'm afarid. It looks like Oz will be drinking on his own. BBC Press Office There are cookery specials from some favourite faces including Delia's Classic Christmas, Oz Drinks To Christmas, The Hairy Bikers Celebrate The 12 Days Of Christmas and Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey. Victorian Farm Christmas, which is accompanied by an advent calendar of 24 festive 'how to' guides online and on BBC Red Button, along with Grow Your Own Drugs For Christmas and regular servings of Ready, Steady, Cook mean there's plenty on the menu for foodies this season. LinkJames was probably too busy. Didn't Andy mention on Topgear.com that filming for the current series took much longer than expected? |

In the Radio Times it's Oz and HUGH DENNIS Drink to Christmas. Oz is cheating on James  |

I am positive that it's Hugh Dennis from Outnumbered and Mock the Week who will be imbibing with the Wine God I'm meeting on Friday!

Looks as though Oz Clarke and Hugh Dennis are associated with the same After Dinner Speakers agency, so all they had to do was check the books to see who was free and could replace James (on this ONE occasion, I hope!)
