We’re thrilled to welcome marketing maverick Rory Sutherland to Intoxicating History. In this somewhat rambunctious episode, Henry Jeffreys and Tom Parker Bowles share a glass of Port with Rory as he declares war on the tyranny of the wine-list and launches his campaign to ban drinks parties… except if they’re outdoors.

Rory takes us back to his Welsh roots and his love of pubs, explaining they are the beating heart of community cohesion—and why they should not be taxed. He reveals his secret super-power as a “fat man in restaurants” and his discovery that even the most powerful people can be charmed by a Kent pub.

In a surprisingly candid turn, Rory opens up about his experience on Mounjaro his relationship with food (and yes, with wine) and the real genius of low alcohol beer.

So pour yourself something splendid, lean back, and join us a little less pure history than usual but a terrific episode full of wit, wisdom and insight.
