Imagine a stand-up comedy night where, instead of beer, you’re served glasses of wine and a comedian explains what you’re holding in your hand. That’s An Idiot’s Guide to Wine in Bogotá: an event that’s perfect for both wine enthusiasts and people who still can’t tell a Malbec from a Carmenere. Either way, you’ll leave knowing more about grapes and food pairings than you expected—and, almost certainly, with a couple of jokes to share at your next dinner party.

What is *An Idiot’s Guide to Wine*?
Three things happen at once during An Idiot’s Guide to Wine: you taste a variety of wines from different parts of the world, a comedian does stand-up about what you’re drinking, and along the way, you pick up facts and pairing tips without feeling like you’re in a class. It takes place at Casa E Borrero, for adults only, with all wine included in the ticket price and a format designed so you can ask questions, compare wines, and share your opinions.

An Idiot’s Guide to Wine isn’t just for people who already know about wine: it also attracts couples looking for something different, groups of friends tired of the same old bar, and coworkers bored with after-work beer gatherings. The format was created by Merrick Watts, an Australian comedian who grew tired of the pretentious air surrounding wine, which is why it’s such a hit on weeknights after work: 70 minutes during which you’ll walk out with new facts about wine you didn’t know before and, with any luck, in a better mood than when you arrived.
