Tom Gilbey, a wine merchant, has gone viral on TikTok this week after he uploaded a video of himself blind-tasting a different glass of vino during each mile of the London Marathon.

In the clip, Gilbey is seen stopping to guess the drink’s grape variety, country of origin and vintage. He was able to guess seven fully correct and 14 mostly right, while he got four incorrect.

Some of the wines Gilbey tested ranged from a Burgundy Pinot Noir from 2018 at his first stop to a French Suav Blanc from 2023 at his final stop.

Gilbey ran the London Marathon to raise money for Sobell House Hospice, which he said “nursed and cared” for his mom in her final days on a JustGiving fundraising page.
