He crossed the finish wine.

A wine merchant raised the bar for boozers and runners alike after blind tasting 25 glasses of vino during the London marathon — nearly one for each mile. The som-mile-ier’s running performance currently boasts 3.9 million views on TikTok.

“I was totally exhausted, totally cooked, but it was just such a great day,” Tom Gilbey, who runs wine businesses, told the Guardian of his grape accomplishment.

Identified as the “wine guy” on TikTok, this Briton is often seen conducting sundry wine taste tests and providing tips on getting the most bang for your buck with wines.

In a recent act of gutsy determination, this wine connoisseur chose to run the London marathon with the aim of raising $2,487 for Sobell House hospice charity in Oxford that served his mother in her last days. The campaign has already surpassed expectations by amassing more than $16,000.

Embracing an additional dare, this enthusiast decided to taste a glass of wine at the end of each mile, attempting to identify its type, source country and year of production.

“Shiraz, Australia, 2022”, he accurately guessed after sipping from one of the glasses that were handed over to him at regular intervals, similar to water in a marathon run.

Out of the total 25 glasses, it was reported that he correctly identified seven 100%, got four completely incorrect, and for the rest, he was mostly accurate (meaning he may have missed one criterion).

This accomplishment was particularly notable considering the samples varied from gas station selections to costly $50 bottles of Barolo.

It was reported that Gilbey completed the race in four hours and 41 minutes, including the wine breaks, and he toasted his success by enjoying a glass of champagne after crossing the finish line.

Interestingly, the British participant found the wine tastings interspersed throughout the 26-mile-plus race made the journey feel less prolonged.

“It was hilarious because when you’re overtaken by a fridge and double-humped camel, you could get really depressed unless you knew there was a nice wine around the corner with some friendly faces to support you,” he declared.

Despite boozing while cruising, Gilbey claimed that the agony of running made him feel nothing but the “urge to finish,” joking that it was a “great way to stay sober.”

Nonetheless, the grape enthusiast said he purposefully avoided downing all the offerings in order to avoid passing out mid-race, explaining: “If they were good, I might swallow it and if they were bad, they went on the road.”

Needless to say, TikTok viewers were impressed by his literal drinking marathon.

“This man drank 26 different wines & still managed a sub 5 marathon. Let that sink in,” gushed one fan.

Another wrote, “Being a marathon runner AND a sommelier are two of the most pretentious hobbies but I absolutely love this guy.”

“All the back labels said they’d pair wonderfully with some cheese or gentle marathon,” quipped a third.

Ultimately, Gilbey is glad he could get sauced for a good cause.

“It’s just incredible and it’s great because that’s what it’s all about,” he said. “It’s for a great charity and they’re one of many hospices that just work their socks off to make massive differences.”

While the runner claims he’d “100%” never partake in such a challenge again, he encourages “everybody to have a silly idea for a good cause and see what happens.”

Gilbey’s booze run might be impressive, but it pales in comparison to this Chinese grandpa, who ran 26.2 miles in just 3.5 hours while smoking cigarettes.
