We start the new year with a look back at some of our favourite pieces from 2025. There was a lot to choose from and if we have not picked your favourite then why not listen back to the archive at shineradio.uk

We visit France, Holland and London (by way of Vietnam) and also come a little closer to home with a trip to Hambledon.

This month we go Christmas Crazy with a cocktail special, a dedicated wine what's on, gift ideas and a festive "bleak or delightful". Unfortunately there are also a number of cracker jokes thoughout the show for which we can only apologise!

Suddenly Autumn is looming but we will keep you warm with thoughts of wine harvests, and whiskey, with and without an e, as both drink and investment. Mags shares some drinking days and we discuss Sober October and the merits of apple juice.

We feature an interview with Hambledon vineyard just as they start their wine harvest, the earliest ever on the estate.

If you enjoy the show have a question or a topic you think we should cover email us at team@shineradio.uk

Anxious to learn the answer Phill Humphries, of Drinking with Phill and Mags, visited the Hambledon vineyard to ask how this year's harvest is looking.

Hambledon vineyard is not only our closest vineyard but it is the oldest commercial vineyard in the UK. This week they are starting to harvest the grapes that will make their sparkling wine.

Caron Fanshaw from the vineyard shared some of her harvest time excitement...

We're back from a brief Summer respite with a new show full of news and chat about all things drinking, but mainly wine!

Phill shares some thoughts from his French trip and tries out his language skills whilst Mags has been further afield to Nicaragua quaffing cocktails in large measures.

We explore the strange goings on in the world of Bordeaux classifications and furnish you with a new set of drinking days.

This month is a really feature rich episode with cider, mead, award winning wine, cocktails, a new bar in Petersfield and ... a bottle of J2O!

This month we are talking Turkey - the country not the bird. Phill has been visiting the London Wine Fair and finally deliver on our promise to talk about low and no alcohol wines - there are some which we like and others which are less successful. We console ourselves with a chat about the aperitivo and some drinking days including a cracking breakfast martini which would suit Paddington down to the ground.
