In this episode, Rex shares his views on the four phases or stages of drinking wine. He also announces an upcoming new Audio Commentary of his favourite movie – a well known British cult classic. For the rest of the episode, Rex explains each of the phases of drinking, what tends to happen in that phase, and how you can recognise it. He shares with us how in the movie Sideways, all the phases are on show and how the movie almost showed Miles and Jack reach that 4thphase, but in fact they pull back (unlike in the book where Miles goes all the way to the fourth stage). There is a number of ‘words of the podcast’ including annealed, evanesce, and titrate to deal with.
