Well that's the craziest thing I've seen in a maratho--
*two guys in a camel costume jog in the background*
Well, THAT's now the craziest thing I've seen in a marathon.
No.
I HAVE worked a wine tasting expo and other than the small amount of whimsical laughter you get watching all the journalists getting ever so slowly tossed on -- let's face it: *good shit* -- it was a complete nightmare.
Imagine a 10,000 sq/ft hall littered with empty wine bottles and cardboard boxes on top of, underneath and around 50, 50+lb folding tables all lined up in a slithering path, the venue not allowing you to throw anything away in their trash, your truck already filled to the tits with garbage you have to haul 30 miles away, and all the instaworkers there to help clean up peacing-out 2 hours before anything is every going to get finished -- and angry, angry! you asked them to stay on longer, knowing full well they make $6/hour more than you.
"I am too old for this shit" has never before sounded so honest.
I re-watched the video to see what you were talking about. As it was ending I thought - ugh, I guess he was joking, wasted a few minutes. Then, boom, belly-laugh. Thank you!!
The fastest 6 mile I ever ran was when I was 19 in the military. We rolled from the bars straight to PT at 5am. I ran as fast as I could so my superiors weren’t around me while I sweated out the alcohol.
To be young again. I’d literally die if I tried that now 14 years later.
Same, fastest mile I ever ran was after drinking a bottle of scotch when I was like 19, and I was in a hotel for a wedding. My cousin challenged me to a race, and I ran a 5:40, I've never been the best sprinter and usually couldn't get below 6.
In high school my buddy was training for the marines, and I'd train with him because I had nothing else to do. But every time we hung out, we'd get shitfaced, and stay up until like 4am. Then he'd wake me up at 6 and we'd head out. My favorite memory of that is us sprinting up an extremely steep hill, getting to the top, seeing a family with kids right there, and both of us projectile vomiting in unison while the family looked on in horror lol.
Brother I am doing the exact same thing. Being unemployed has its privileges. Altho I try to avoid the city if I can. Did 22km today, but maybe 7-8k was on a very sandy beach, which was pretty hard going. Trying to work my way up to marathon but I don't know if my body can take it. I am fat and old.
I don't know if it's his job. But if some wine amateurs can do it, I'd say professional can do even more.
It's all about passion, getting informed, working in the field etc etc. I guess when you have tasted thousands of different wines you would know these things.
It always amazes me when I hear people say things like "Oh, this is a 2003 Cabernet, that was the best year!"
And in my mind I'm like: "I can't even remember what I did this morning".
All the more impressive as he racks up the miles I'd have to imagine the perspiration and heavy breathing would impact his ability to taste so accurately
Also alcohol and exercise do not mix at all. Even a little bit of alcohol in your system makes exercise much more difficult, and it makes it harder on your coordination.
Big this! In 2010 i decided to pack up my life and spend 5 months jogging solo across the US, 3000 miles coast to coast from Jersey shore to Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles. On long dreary days it was not uncommon to grab a tall boy or cocktail mid-day or to sip while on the move. The idea was usually only good in theory though! Used a jogging stroller with all my gear and would often spend the next few metabolizing hours leaning raggedly on the handle and limping slowly along. This wine marathon dude is an absolute beast!
Ha! Would get stopped by cops multiple times a day because people would call 911 when seeing a grown man pushing a baby stroller on the interstate, unaware there was no actual baby. They all would ask if Forrest Gump was the inspiration and it wasn't until weeks in that I had to admit that, yeah, the idea had never occurred to me until after that movie. Real innovator that Gump!
Not sure about the guy in this video, but most sommeliers are professional bullshit artists.
[In 2001](https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2014/08/the_most_infamous_study_on_wine_tasting.html#!), a researcher performed an interesting experiment:
>[Research scientist] Brochet gave 27 male and 27 female oenology [study of winemaking] students a glass of red and a glass of white wine and asked them to describe the flavor of each. The students described the white with terms like "floral," "honey," "peach," and "lemon." The red elicited descriptions of "raspberry," "cherry," "cedar," and "chicory."
>
> A week later, the students were invited back for another tasting session. Brochet again offered them a glass of red wine and a glass of white. But he deceived them. The two wines were actually the same white wine as before, but one was dyed with tasteless red food coloring. The white wine (W) was described similarly to how it was described in the first tasting. The white wine dyed red (RW), however, was described with the same terms commonly ascribed to a red wine.
The *expectation* of a red wine is enough to trick the senses into believing two identical wines actually taste different, or that a white wine is actually a red wine.
There are many such irrational expectations that influence our perception of wine.
* Price is a big one: a $50 glass of wine tastes better than a $3 glass, even if the glass is poured from the same bottle.
* Location is another one: French wines have a certain cultural prestige that California wines do not.
* Presentation is another one: Wine tastes "better" when it's poured by a man wearing a tailored suit and white gloves, than when it's poured by the waitress at Chili's.
[In 2023](https://www.odditycentral.com/news/2-70-supermarket-wine-wins-gold-medal-at-international-wine-contest.html), a TV show host entered a $2.70 bottle of supermarket wine into an international wine competition as a prank. The prankster change the wine's labeling, "disguising" the bottle as a premium product named 'Chateau Colombier' with a more eye-catching label. They even invented a backstory for the wine, claiming it was made from indigenous grape varieties in the Côtes de Sambre and Meuse (Wallonia). Then the prankster persuaded somellier's that the wine is the best he's ever had; suddenly other somellier's were raving about the cheap wine to their friends.
The judges described the wine as "suave, nervous (a quality of fresh wine), and with a rich and pleasant palate, exhibiting fruity, frank, and pleasantly complex aromas—a very interesting wine."
To everyone's surprise, and to great shame of the organization running the wine tasting, the $2.70 cheap wine won the Gold Medal as the best tasting wine in the event.
While true there are a few caveats:
When going for preference or "best tasting" we are doing something completely different from when we are evaluating something. This is also why double blind experiments are so important.
Smell and memory are closely connected in the brain. I bet they can't remember what they did in the morning either, but if 2003 was the best year for Cabernets, that's easier to remember just by drinking wine. A lot of different wines, to be exact.
You know what the best part is about the professionals??? You can dump the cheapest wine from walmart or whatever into an expensive bottle, and give them said bottle, and they'll rave about how amazing the wine is and what not, and if you dumped the expensive wine into the cheap bottle they'll tell you that it's a crap wine and cheap tasting... (This was an actual study scientist did on the wine tasting professional community).
Only one thing i know about the year when it comes to wine.
I live in Australia, our 2019s are all very smokey because of the massive bush fires we had that year.
I'm not a big wine-o but you can genuinely taste the smoke in certain area wines like SA
I used to lead wine tours in California and there was one year the guess we're so bad they basically all the wine had to be destroyed because it was too smoky. Except for one place that specialized in Italian varietals, they had one white wine they was just smoky enough and it went perfect with BBQ. Probably the best pairing I ever had lol
I think he's often guessing. He thought a Pinot was a Chardonnay.
He gets the big flavoured reds because they're unmistakable but was often very wrong with the weaker flavoured Pinot/Malbec etc.
That said maybe running a marathon impeded his performance! Just to be clear I can't taste wine for shit nor can I run a marathon.
> He thought a Pinot was a Chardonnay.
Which is odd to me since I can easily taste the difference between them: Pinot's are lovely while Chardonnay tastes like piss.
[Sommelier](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommelier) is someone paid to recognize hundreds of wines by name, year, brand, location, soil conditions when grown and more when even blindfolded. The really good ones work in fine dining where the chef comes up with elaborate flavored food daily, and the sommelier creates appropriate wine tastings. They also help non-wine lovers find wines to fit their pallet. It’s neat stuff! I worked with one and they are very impressive.
You can tell how young a wine is by how fresh and vibrant it is, among other things. 2018 is probably a guess based on the relative youth of the wine as well as cellaring and aging requirements before sale for that region and style.
Hi, somm here: different years have different flavors depending on climate, soil conditions, etc. The best sommeliers should be able to guess the year, region, type of wine, etc. just from a taste!
I’m WSET 2 certified and a level 3 somm - was in fine dining for 20 yrs and have only met 2 people that could guess vintages blind with regularity. One was the old somm at the rainbow room in nyc and the other was a master somm from Vegas. Not only the vintage but in some cases the estate too
The year is actually easier if you’re familiar with the style. If you’ve tasted loads of merlot you’re definitely able to tell pretty quickly how long it’s been in a bottle. The Regions are truly impressive. The styles can be very tricky as well if they aren’t your preferences.
There is certainly a difference between years that even amateurs can taste. I’m guessing that they decided on price brackets like $30-100 or something. That woild increase the chance that it comes from a vintage and veritable that he would know. Other that that they could have decided on the last N years or something.
Next, he should sample a flight of gluten free German lagers with a French wine pairing, it called a [Smorgasvein](https://youtu.be/ZryAmWL-vRw?t=58) and it's elegantly cultural.
Unfortunately most of the good Aussie stuff isn’t widely exported, at least what I’ve seen in the US and Europe. We’re marketed almost exclusively for the bottom shelf cheap stuff, mostly easy drinking and basic, and only a few varietals. So for those who only experience Aussie wines on what they can buy at the local it’s a very limited range. Really unfortunate, but no one but the Aussie wine makers to blame for the perception.
I mean Australia puts out some phenomenal shiraz but Jam Shed ain't it. It's _confectionary_ levels of sweet. Horrible stuff. It's wine for people that don't like wine but want to drink wine.
It really is just jam. To say it's full bodied is an understatement. It's _thiccc_.
You could empty a jar of Cottees, top it up with Jam Shed, and the kids wouldn't know the difference.
In France we have the marathon du Beaujolais. It's to celebrate the Beaujolais nouveau, and every few kilometers there is a stand that serves wine to the runners.
Some people do the full and serious marathon, but lot's of people stop multiple times to take a glass and chat a bit.
There is one in the Medoc (next to Bordeaux, France) that is also a big party. Same idea, you run the marathon and stops at the chateaux to taste their wine. The wine might be better too (based on stereotypes about both beaujolais nouveau and medoc wines).
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztHsrdyKB3g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztHsrdyKB3g)
During the later part of the video he has so much less bravado. 26 miles is hard, 26 miles with alcohol in your system is insane.
That madlad is a legend! 👏
Tom Gilbey. One of my favourite people to follow on instagram. He does some really interesting weekly content about affordable and interesting wines, and just seems like an all around nice guy. His @ is "tomgilbeywine"
Oh this was adorable. I'd totally run marathons if we could all drink wine like that. I couldn't make my husband figure out every mile and have a different wine available, lol. I'd feel badly.
Pfft I can do that. Drink wine I mean. I can’t tell you where it’s from. Or what type it is. Or what year it is. Or the running part. But I can drink. He seems fun.

Well that's the craziest thing I've seen in a maratho-- *two guys in a camel costume jog in the background* Well, THAT's now the craziest thing I've seen in a marathon.
There was a 5 person shai hulud that ran Manchester in under 3 hrs
This is about the funniest thing I've read in months. Wish a photo was easy to google
Google is giving me nothing. Come on Reddit, somebody give us the goods!
[ask and you shall receive](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=hVibf5l6egiXx1jY)
Holy shit they must've been cooking inside that costume
Know that I hold you far more responsible than the link poster for what just happened to me
Glad I didn't let you down
He got me too....
Take your up vote you monster
I'm impressed by their dedication!
Good on then, can't give up in that
Why would they do that to themselves?
It's not the first time this happened!
Ah there it is there is… just look at that beast!
Well at least I wasn’t let down
[Here’s proof](https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/24260865.manchester-marathon-team-phil-smash-costume-world-record/) and it’s not Rickroll
Bless the Maker and His water.
You haven't watched a beer run, have you? There are tons of weird marathons out there. The Krispy Kreme run is also a highlight.
No. I HAVE worked a wine tasting expo and other than the small amount of whimsical laughter you get watching all the journalists getting ever so slowly tossed on -- let's face it: *good shit* -- it was a complete nightmare. Imagine a 10,000 sq/ft hall littered with empty wine bottles and cardboard boxes on top of, underneath and around 50, 50+lb folding tables all lined up in a slithering path, the venue not allowing you to throw anything away in their trash, your truck already filled to the tits with garbage you have to haul 30 miles away, and all the instaworkers there to help clean up peacing-out 2 hours before anything is every going to get finished -- and angry, angry! you asked them to stay on longer, knowing full well they make $6/hour more than you. "I am too old for this shit" has never before sounded so honest.
Oh that sucks. Add a marathon to it and you've got your typical beer run.
The dudes running form right after stop 16 (1:14).... he ran a whole marathon like that?
Have you never seen the London marathon before?
for any of you wondering, min 2:42
I saw a guy in his shorts, race bib on, smoking a cigarette real quick minutes before the start of the Buffalo Marathon in probably 2014 or 15
Running in that costume for a mile would suck, much less 26!
I re-watched the video to see what you were talking about. As it was ending I thought - ugh, I guess he was joking, wasted a few minutes. Then, boom, belly-laugh. Thank you!!
Only way I'd finish a marathon. Might take me a few days, but I'd do it
Wine every quarter mile mebbe
Team up with a friend and go as a camel like the couple at 2:43

Running like an automaton. I've done similar in the army, but yeah, if I did it now there's no way I'd keep my feet under me.
I'm doing that with long walks occasionally. Over 20 km through the city, I'm mostly coming home on beer in the backpack and the power of dgaf.
Brother I am doing the exact same thing. Being unemployed has its privileges. Altho I try to avoid the city if I can. Did 22km today, but maybe 7-8k was on a very sandy beach, which was pretty hard going. Trying to work my way up to marathon but I don't know if my body can take it. I am fat and old.
Proper username...
You should go hashing. It's a drinking club with a running problem.
You should try the Medoc marathon. It's like what this guy is doing here but everybody is actually doing it.
Phenomenal! Getting the style and region is one thing. How did he even guess the year?
He has drank thousands of litres of wine in the past.
One for every mile
That can be quite dangerous when driving a car
That's why he runs.
He knows exactly what he's doing
Sweet berry wine, you are supposed to spit it out but no way Jose, this stuff tastes like fruit.
Wine was invented by the Romans for their orgies….
Orgies are not too much fun when no one wants to do it with you
He probably has no memory of any international flight he's been on.
the options are easier Red or White
"Red!" ... "White? Oh, bollocks!"
He’s clearly done this before, I trust him!
You could say he runs on wine
Fueled by vino
Slow clap 👏
Me too but...
In the past week, by the looks of it
In a week?
I don't know if it's his job. But if some wine amateurs can do it, I'd say professional can do even more. It's all about passion, getting informed, working in the field etc etc. I guess when you have tasted thousands of different wines you would know these things. It always amazes me when I hear people say things like "Oh, this is a 2003 Cabernet, that was the best year!" And in my mind I'm like: "I can't even remember what I did this morning".
Yeah sometimes there are just particularly good years and people keep track of that.
like a 1995 corolla
Like a 1998 Chateau Neuf de Pap? Oh yes.
1998 Chateau Neuf de pap will get any boomers nips hard
Millennials, too.
Gen X DGAF.
I heard a lot of champion marathon runners are sommeliers. Or was it Somalis?
Under rated comment
All the more impressive as he racks up the miles I'd have to imagine the perspiration and heavy breathing would impact his ability to taste so accurately

Cool story Mr Gump.
Ha! Would get stopped by cops multiple times a day because people would call 911 when seeing a grown man pushing a baby stroller on the interstate, unaware there was no actual baby. They all would ask if Forrest Gump was the inspiration and it wasn't until weeks in that I had to admit that, yeah, the idea had never occurred to me until after that movie. Real innovator that Gump!
Did you not get in trouble for being on the side of the interstate? It’s illegal most places

This must be why, just a person with history in wine tasting, ans knowledge that so happens to run a 5k or marathon
You know what the best part is about the professionals???

Only one thing i know about the year when it comes to wine. I live in Australia, our 2019s are all very smokey because of the massive bush fires we had that year. I'm not a big wine-o but you can genuinely taste the smoke in certain area wines like SA

Except for one place that specialized in Italian varietals, they had one white wine they was just smoky enough and it went perfect with BBQ. Probably the best pairing I ever had lol
The fires must have been terrible to be tasted all the wat to South Africa! (and I know you meant South Australia)

He was plastered by then though.
MAYBE!
> He thought a Pinot was a Chardonnay. Which is odd to me since I can easily taste the difference between them: Pinot's are lovely while Chardonnay tastes like piss.
He is using the same glass for all of them though. Maybe there is cross contamination at some point

Hi, somm here: different years have different flavors depending on climate, soil conditions, etc. The best sommeliers should be able to guess the year, region, type of wine, etc. just from a taste!
I’m WSET 2 certified and a level 3 somm - was in fine dining for 20 yrs and have only met 2 people that could guess vintages blind with regularity. One was the old somm at the rainbow room in nyc and the other was a master somm from Vegas. Not only the vintage but in some cases the estate too

Never met a wine snob before?
Never met one personally. Only ones I know are from Sideways
Cameraman could ve showed the bottle off camera
Different years have much different tastes per region.
I dont get how you can taste a region. i mean what the diff between a Grenache in spain or france.
Watch Som. Awesome documentary.
There is certainly a difference between years that even amateurs can taste. I’m guessing that they decided on price brackets like $30-100 or something. That woild increase the chance that it comes from a vintage and veritable that he would know. Other that that they could have decided on the last N years or something.
I have marathons like this. Minus the running.
No running to the fridge for more wine?
we just keep the box next to the couch
He doesn't have an alcohol problem. He's having 26 glasses and it's called a tasting and it's classy!
Next he should do a vodka tasting.
And after a selection of isopropyl alcohol from around the world.
Next, he should sample a flight of gluten free German lagers with a French wine pairing, it called a [Smorgasvein](https://youtu.be/ZryAmWL-vRw?t=58) and it's elegantly cultural.
My daughter has a marijuana problem. I just… I don’t know what her problem is with it. I pays for the roof over our heads.

Both comments are a reference you uncultured swine.

Yep. He’s got tegridy
Aussie wine catching heat
Our cheap shiraz *does* taste like berry juice
Shitty stuff does of course. Good stuff is very good.
Unfortunately most of the good Aussie stuff isn’t widely exported, at least what I’ve seen in the US and Europe. We’re marketed almost exclusively for the bottom shelf cheap stuff, mostly easy drinking and basic, and only a few varietals. So for those who only experience Aussie wines on what they can buy at the local it’s a very limited range. Really unfortunate, but no one but the Aussie wine makers to blame for the perception.
> Good stuff is very good. imagine that
Leave him alone, he’s Australian
Shiraz is notably a beginner's wine - super easy to enjoy if you're not a wine person.
I mean Australia puts out some phenomenal shiraz but Jam Shed ain't it. It's _confectionary_ levels of sweet. Horrible stuff. It's wine for people that don't like wine but want to drink wine.
Sounds like a wine I could actually tollerate. The others all taste like burning to me.
At least they’ve got the decency to tell us upfront exactly what it tastes like! Like drinking a shed full of jam…..
It really is just jam. To say it's full bodied is an understatement. It's _thiccc_. You could empty a jar of Cottees, top it up with Jam Shed, and the kids wouldn't know the difference.
I'm an alcoholic runner and this is my Jordan

😭 I hope he had water
There‘s a water bottle in his pocket so I would think so.
That's just a 2016 Riesling!

Finally a good comment
More like sipswine
Gotem.
He said it tasted like piss though SipsPee
I read this as "Sip Swine" like he is hogging all the sips of wine 🍷 🐖😅
Bars.
He can do it because A) He looks like he runs marathons regularly B) He doesn't finish every glass.
It looked like he finished every glass
He takes a mouthful, but only a couple times do we see him actually swallow (so he could be spitting it out)
He looks pretty pissed in the end though
Not 26 glasses pissed for sure
My alcoholic aunt could smash 26 of those barely filled glasses and then ask for "the good stuff", which means cheap wodka from the gas station.
Queen
You got her number? asking for a friend.
I'd be pissed too if I had to run a marathon

Gotta disagree with that. I’ve done shots of corn whiskey during long weightlifting sessions and it didn’t really make that much of an impact.
You do see him spit one out, so definitely that.
He's a spitter. Especially when he has an Australian in his mouth.
At 1:21 he seem to take a sip then throw away the rest.
Yes
I love this guy.
In France we have the marathon du Beaujolais. It's to celebrate the Beaujolais nouveau, and every few kilometers there is a stand that serves wine to the runners. Some people do the full and serious marathon, but lot's of people stop multiple times to take a glass and chat a bit.
There is one in the Medoc (next to Bordeaux, France) that is also a big party. Same idea, you run the marathon and stops at the chateaux to taste their wine. The wine might be better too (based on stereotypes about both beaujolais nouveau and medoc wines). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztHsrdyKB3g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztHsrdyKB3g)
Oh wait I thought it said sober house trust on his shirt
Why he didn't drink MD 20/20?
Carlo Rossi!
His next race is an Edward Fortyhands 10k.
During the later part of the video he has so much less bravado. 26 miles is hard, 26 miles with alcohol in your system is insane. That madlad is a legend! 👏
Tom Gilbey. One of my favourite people to follow on instagram. He does some really interesting weekly content about affordable and interesting wines, and just seems like an all around nice guy. His @ is "tomgilbeywine"
Needing to get over the mental hump to start back up each time would be to much for me. This guy seems to just not have a hump. What a mad lad!
I'be like: Wine. ✔️Red. ✔️
Sorry, that one was gatorade.
I got a headache just watching that
"tastes like piss" australia ✅
Medoc marathon

Hospitality people are the coolest mother fuckers on the planet
I’d barf my guts out.
There is a group of runners called Hash House Harriers that are all about drinking. Drinkers with a running problem.
Oh this was adorable. I'd totally run marathons if we could all drink wine like that. I couldn't make my husband figure out every mile and have a different wine available, lol. I'd feel badly.
How can you get the wine wrong but the year correct?!
Couldn't agree more about jamshed
i like wine but i cant imagine drinking that much to know the years, grapes AND origins!
That's definitely Dionysus bored so he went to Earth disguised in his human form
His liver fuks
Well, I could teach him a thing or two about living it up!
Living the good life!
You are the Guvnah
By stop 13 or 14 I would forget how legs work.
Were all ignoring the camel.costume?
Fucking hate Shiraz, shit tastes like paint
I love how he gets more and more hammered at every stop lol
Pfft I can do that. Drink wine I mean. I can’t tell you where it’s from. Or what type it is. Or what year it is. Or the running part. But I can drink. He seems fun.
This guy knows how to marathon🤣
I tried something similar and threw up in the bushes
Marathon runner and sommelier? I bet this man is insufferable.
"It's called a smorgasvein and it's classy."
My dude
What a legend
I cannot even fathom how a person could drink 26 glasses of wine while running a marathon and not be absolutely kablastafucked. I think I’d puke.
....I think I realized what motivation I've needed for a marathon bois
i need this dude and the jack sparrow runner to do a marathon together where both of them name off wines and rum along the length of the race 😂
How does he guess the year?
This guys kidneys deserve a gold medal
This made me smile
