New York, May 12, 2026 - An Idiot's Guide to Wine, written and originally performed by acclaimed Australian comedian Merrick Watts, is making its U.S. debut in New York. Created by Grapes of Mirth and presented by Fever, the world's leading tech platform for discovering culture and live entertainment, this one-of-a-kind experience blends stand-up comedy with a guided wine tasting for an evening that is equal parts hilarious and indulgent.

Designed for both wine enthusiasts and casual drinkers, An Idiot's Guide to Wine pairs a curated tasting of international varietals with live comedy, offering a fresh and accessible alternative to traditional wine events.

Blending humor, storytelling, and genuine wine expertise, the show invites guests to sip, swirl, and laugh while discovering that learning about wine doesn't have to be intimidating. The result is a lively, social experience where entertainment and education go hand in hand.

"Finally, the tasting where comedy takes the spotlight and becomes your perfect sommelier. It's the hottest thing right now, and it's coming to you," says Merrick Watts, the show's creator. "Get ready to sip top-tier wines, learn tons, and laugh while shattering the 'boring wine tasting' myth, because wine should be fun, not a spelling bee."

With its combination of humor, storytelling, and wine discovery, the show delivers a memorable experience that lingers long after the final glass.
