“Wine with Matt O’Brien” has the wine reviews you didn’t even know you needed

Oonagh Keating. Updated February 25th, 2020

Comedian Matt O’Brien has gone where few but the most self-important tend to venture – into the realms of wine reviewing – specifically cheap wine.

We can’t guarantee that his reviews are in any way useful for helping you choose a cheeky beverage, but they will give you a laugh.

Enjoy.

You can’t tell us that anything genuine reviewers say makes any more sense than “a bright funeral” or “a guitar full of coins”.

Comedy writer Fearless Fred had this review of the reviews.

An unconventional endorsement, but a ringing one nonetheless.
