Wine Tasting with Comedy: 'An Idiot’s Guide to Wine' in Alicante

What happens when world-class wine education meets razor-sharp stand-up comedy? In Alicante, you’ll find out — with the Spanish-language edition of the acclaimed Australian show An Idiot’s Guide to Wine, affectionately dubbed 'Wine for Dummies' (but way smarter than it sounds!).

Over 70 minutes, you’ll taste five carefully selected wines from across the globe — from Burgundian Pinot Noir to bold Argentinian Malbec and surprising natural gems from Spain’s emerging regions. Each pour comes with witty, insightful commentary on origin, winemaking quirks, food pairings, and fun wine-world anecdotes — all delivered live by Merrick Watts, an Australian comedian and a certified WSET Level 3 educator (one of the highest international qualifications in wine and spirits).

The show has charmed audiences from Sydney to London thanks to its perfect blend of accessibility, authenticity, and laughter — no prior wine knowledge required (just curiosity and a sense of humour). Strictly 18+, doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Your ticket includes five generous tasting pours and seating in your chosen zone.

Looking for a uniquely engaging, joyful, and genuinely informative evening in Alicante? This is it. Don’t miss the premiere on 21 November 2026 at AC Hotel by Marriott Alicante.
