MATCHING WINE WITH CARS
Oz and James' Big Wine Adventures (Prime Sundays, 7PM) is a wine programme with a difference. That difference is fun.
I'm not saying the programme is great as it is full of flaws, but what wine oriented programmes and films are not (Sideways with its central theme of disparaging Merlot in favour of Pinot Noir ended with a tribute to Chateau Cheval Blanc which is almost 50% Merlot - or was that an in-joke?).
Tonights episode had a fun challenge (anathema to wine snobs) of matching a car to a wine. This was great and takes the piss whilst still making some sense (e.g. matching a Champagne to a classic Jaguar).
Well done OJBWA

I drive an 88 Toyota.
Cask wine?
No, the spit bucket seems more appropriate
So, let me get this clear, my son's 87 Toyota would be a urinal?

I am not interested in George's mobile micturating proclivities.
Toyota '88 = spit bucket
Lada = ?
I think the word "robust" should be used. For example: "Turps is robust... like the Lada."
Lada = ?
