In a recent appearance on the 'Dish' podcast, Grohl told the story of when he felt extremely embarrased at the home of a famous celebrity after drinking two bottles of their expensive wine.
The Foo Fighters frontman told hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, “I was invited over to the house of a very famous actor, who I’d never really met before,” he told co-hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett. “At the time, I was the only person who drank here at this dinner. So, I’m left with this bottle of wine, and it is so f**king good. I downed it like a Pepsi. I was like, ‘Wooooooah.’ And then, another bottle arrived. And I’, like, ‘F**k, this is great.’ Destroy that bottle. I’m like, ‘This is the best wine I’ve had in my life, it’s amazing.'"
Grohl explained that the next day he sent an email to said celeb thanking them for inviting him to the dinner party and asking what type of wine he was drinking. He later found out that it was a Château Haut-Brion and that he hand drank $20,000 of wine over the course of the dinner party.
However, the unnamed celebrity wasn't bothered about the wine as after Grohl apologised they replied and said: "that's what it's for."
Elsewhere in the podcast, the Best of You singer revealed his pre-show drinking ritual. He explained that he does not drink tea and honey before a gig, but actually has a four step ritual which keeps his vocal chords pristine.
He begins an hour before the show with a beer, which is followed by an Advil (painkiller) for his "aging joints", a shot of whiskey and then repeats the process.
Grohl explained when he saw a specialist, they told him that he doesn't need to change "a thing" as his vocal chords are in such great condition.
