26 miles, 25 wines: Meet London Marathon’s ‘wine guy’

Tom Gilbey became a viral sensation after testing his palate as well as his body by tasting a different wine every mile of the London Marathon route.

He sampled 25 wines over the 26.2 mile course, raising more than £14,000 for charity in the process, as he attempted to name each wine's vintage, grape and producer.

The wine connoisseur joined Caroline Barker live on Sportshour to talk about the challenge and even got involved with some more wine tasting.
