He ran the London Marathon and stopped 25 times to drink... wine

It sounds like a silly idea, but it serves a very valuable purpose.

A winemaker ran the London Marathon in the UK with a charitable twist. However, anyone watching him would have thought the man was completely off his trolley as he kept stopping during the race.

That's because Tom Gilbey was stopping to down a glass of wine as part of a challenge to see if he could guess what type of wine he was drinking. The challenge involved guessing not only the brand but the grape variety, among other details.

For every correct answer, the man earned a cash donation to Sobell House, a hospice charity.

In total, Tom ran 26 miles (around 45 kilometres) and tasted 25 wines. Out of all the wines he tasted, he got seven completely correct, 14 partially correct and got four wrong. Tom managed to raise £10,000 (over €11,500) for his cause.

Watch the challenge in the video above.
