A wine connoisseur was left pleasantly surprised after sampling the vino at Wetherspoons.
Wine expert Tom Gilbey took to TikTok to share his experience of visiting The Rocket, a Wetherspoons pub in Putney, London.
He was there to "check out the wine list" and was taken aback by the quality on offer. "Oh my God! They've actually got half decent wine," he said after a glance at the list.

Tom was particularly impressed with a "very, very good Shiraz made by Grant Burge", which was priced at under £20 a bottle and £3.81 a glass. He also noted that the Malbec was just £17 and couldn't find any overpriced "offenders" on the list.
However, things didn't start off well when he noticed a "little bit of lipstick" on his glass of Shiraz. He also wasn't too keen on the glass itself, joking: "Lovely big fat wine glass, so if I throw it against the wall it's going to be absolutely fine."
But the taste of the Shiraz won him over. He said: "You know what? It tastes as if it hasn't been opened forever. It's actually really good!"
Tom decided to pair the Shiraz with a Wetherspoons burger and chips - a far cry from some of the fancy food pairings he has sampled in previous TikTok videos. And the food didn't impress him as much as the wine, as he claimed he would rather eat his "own shoe" after taking a bite.

The vino enthusiast wasn't put off though, taking another gulp of the Shiraz to complement his meal. "This goes really really well, with a fantastically revolting burger," he said of the wine. In the end, Tom rated the Wetherspoons wine selection an impressive 8/10. The burger, however, was less fortunate - scraping a measly 2/10.
