Known for his extremely short fuse and once described by David Dimbleby as “cretinous,” Phillip Schofield recently launched a wine range in Waitrose and on Amazon. Unsurprisingly, it’s been a total flop and was quite deservedly condemned at the weekend in The Sun as “overpriced” and “bitter.”
Priced between £19.99 and £24.99 for 2.25-litre boxes, Schofield’s was slammed by one punter as “only fit for the bin” on Waitrose’s website. They added: “The wine [was] effervescing within the bag. No more palatable than fizzy Ribena” whilst another suggested: “I don’t have anything positive to say about the flavour at all. Not pleasant drinking. We failed to finish the box.”
Prior to launching the range in April, Schofield quite pompously bragged to The Drinks Business:
Two stories to keep beside you
Eating Over The Cliff
Sir Cliff Richard wins a phallic victory against the BBC and remains left out of pocket; elsewhere the condescening crooner went overboard with a menu that included three salmon dishes When he’s not crying on his kitchen floor or observing the yellow ribbons on his gates, the sanctimonious Christian crooner Sir Cliff Richard is likely […]
CocktailING
Matthew Steeples tears apart ‘ES’ magazine’s new restaurant critic for using a ridiculous non-word – “cocktailing” In this week’s ‘ES’ magazine a prat (pictured with cartoon drawings of a wine glass and some other bizarre object that looks like a bog brush) named Jimi Famurewa – in a column ridiculously called ‘Jimi Eats World’ […]
“When I agreed to this partnership, I had certain conditions; I wanted to be part of the tasting team… I wanted it to be good value. The result is something I felt I could really invest in.”
Schofield – whose ‘coming out’ and alleged connections to a young man named Matthew McGreevy attracted much media attention earlier this year – unsurprisingly failed to respond to a request from The Steeple Times for comment; he was probably instead too busy nursing a hangover headache from drinking his equivalent of Sir Cliff Richard’s equally vile plonk.

His wine is probably as shite as his taste in men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not send him Down Under!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He looks creepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He might pester the surfer dudes a bit too much —– and they’d thump him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He makes my skin crawl. He is seriously strange. Never liked him and the Gopher he used to play with/abuse.
He turns milk sour so nobody should risk their lives sipping his failed attempt at wine! Even Blue Nun would be preferable to Schofield’s crocodile tears.
Correct Penny,he’s a very nasty little man,maybe Black Tower as an alternative to Blue Nun?Ah they were the days,dinner parties and a bottle of Mateus Rose!!
Or as Del Boy would say, don’t be a plonker all your life Phillip
