With Sherry Week just around the corner, the chaps see what pairs well with TIO PEPE Fino En Rama, from the classic of olives through to a slightly less conventional MacDonalds Filet-O-Fish. You might be surprised with the results...

If I could only drink one grape variety for the rest of my life It would have to be Riesling. It's the most diverse and complex white grape with vibrant acidity and tantalising fruit. It is almost never masked by - and doesn't need - new oak. It's pure, ripe and not cloying or buttery. Don't get me wrong though - oak can be used to make some fantastic wines I'm not knocking it, but Riesling is a stand alone grape that best represents and reflects the land on which it's grown.

Matthew and Thomas are ready to give you a Riesling to love German wine in this video!

The Villa Wolf Dry Riesling comes from Germany's Pfalz region, and is a fantastically aromatic, refreshing wine. A crowd-pleaser if ever there was one!

Thom and Matthew see only one way to bid farewell to Matthew and that is to over indulge.

Find out what the chaps think to their choices of food matching from the conservative Brie and Smoked Salmon and cream cheese to the outright stupid wildcard of a KFC Bargain Bucket.

Watch Thomas and Matthew get into the local spirit with the award-winning Cotswold Dry Gin. With notes of black pepper, pink grapefruit and bay leaf, this is one of Thom's favourite gins!

Matt and Thom imbibe in a rum inspired by the tipple of choice of Reverend Stiggins from Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers. Pineapple Rum. Not just another rum liqueur pumped full of sugar, rather a rum infused with fresh pineapple.

Xeres, Jerez, Sherry, Granny's tipple; whatever you call it - for me this southern Spanish region produces the most unique, diverse and undervalued wine in the world.

My first experience of Chilean wine was back in my student days, when various supermarkets offered three bottles of wine for ten pounds! What a fantastic deal, if not a little irresponsible. Many of the wines available happened to be Chilean, often Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. As you can probably imagine, these wines were not of the greatest quality, but that most certainly wasn't my primary reason for buying them. As a result of deals like this, Chile is a wine producing country is that is associated with being cheap and cheerful.

Oxfordshire is home to plenty of top class brewers and distillers, here is one of our favourite brewers.

XT Brewery can be found just outside of Oxford and is committed to showing everyone just how good they are at creating a vast range of premium quality beers. Using international malts and hops they create beers with a real sense of place.

I will never forget growing up and regularly seeing a bottle of red resting on top of the dining room cabinet next to the hot water pipe "warming nicely for dinner". This seemed normal to me at the time: red at room temperature (if not warmer) and white chilled. No matter what the wine, this was and still is a common misconception of wine consumers today.

The quality of English fizz has never been better. In the last 16 years, English sparkling wines have won nine trophies for Best International Sparkling Wine, and six trophies for Best Sparkling Rosé in global competitions. This has never been achieved by any other country. A lot of good restaurants are serving English fizz by the glass, as its natural high acidity and ripe fruit complexity make for the perfect aperitif. The light aromatic whites really come into their own when put up against tricky to pair foods such as English asparagus & artichokes.

'Twas the night before Christmas and the Champagne flutes clink, such a magical time ...but what do I drink?

It's that time of the year where over indulgence is acceptable that extra glass of wine or two is encouraged, but with so many drink options and plenty of festive treats available what's the best tipple for you to enhance that much deserved Christmas joy?
