The epilogue has landed! After all these years romping around glasses with the world’s loveliest sippers, it’s time for me to hang up my headphones with a final joyful roar for all the splendour that wine - and all drinks - offer when shared in good company. Thank you for listening and for your encouraging messages.

You can still find me across social media (@ollysmith on Instagram and @ollysmithofficial on TikTok) through my website ollysmith.com or via my brand new book The World Cocktail Atlas released in October 2023. Available for pre-order here.

Thank you to my producers PodMonkey and everyone who contributed to this show over the years, especially Richard Hemming MW for all the happy memories. So until the next time on telly, in print, online or even in another pod, most of all, I have loved sharing A Glass With you. Cheers!
