How it feels

Wine expert Oz Clarke teaches motoring journalist James May about wine as they drive through France and California. James is a beer drinker who knows little about wine, so Oz guides him through tastings and vineyards.

What happens

Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure is a BBC television programme of which two series have been broadcast. It was presented by wine expert Oz Clarke and motoring journalist James May (at the time, a presenter of Top Gear), with Clarke aiming to educate May (a committed bitter drinker) about wine while undertaking a road trip. The first season focused on France and the second on California. The sequel series Oz and James Drink to Britain, broadcast in 2009, made the change to a focus on the variety of beverages available in the United Kingdom. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
