Vin ekspert Tom Gilbey smager 25 glas under londonmaraton for et hospital: 'Jeg var helt udmattet'

Tom Gilbey did not “chug” 25 glasses of wine. He ran 26.2 miles through London on April 21, 2024, with two glasses clipped to his belt, took a sip at nearly every mile, and tried to name the grape, the country, and the vintage while his heart rate was in the red. The TikTok clip went everywhere. The man himself finished in 4 hours and 41 minutes, then drank champagne at the line.

"Jeg var helt udmattet, fuldstændig kogt, men det var bare sådan en stor dag", den 52-årige Oxfordshire vin købmand fortalte VogterenHan er vinfyren på TikTok. Maratonløbet var for Sobell House, det hotel, der passede hans mor, Caroline. Han havde håbet på 2.000 pund. Efter videoen klatrede siden over £14.000. Sobell House 'maraton hold som helhed rejst mere end £51.000 det år.

The wines ran from a £40 Barolo to gas-station bottles, miniatures, and cans. He opened at mile one with a 2018 Burgundy Pinot Noir. Across 25 glasses he got seven fully right, 14 mostly right, and four wrong. He spat most of it. “If they were good, I might swallow it and if they were bad, they went on the road,” he said. His son printed the shirts and planted the flags.

En gane, ikke en binge

Gilbey har sagt, at han ikke vil lave 25-glas versionen igen. Han har også sagt, at alle bør prøve en dum idé for en anstændig sag og se, hvad der sker.
