CUSTOMERS at a Sleaford pub have successfully played their part in creating a new world record.
They took part in a synchronised wine tasting at The Packhorse Inn in Northgate during the pub's recent wine festival.
The event was staged simultaneously at 680 other Wetherspoon pubs across the UK, with the aim of beating the existing record of 5,100 wine tasters, set in Spain in 2006.
Guinness World Records have officially confirmed that the overall number of people who took part in the UK-wide wine tasting was 17,540, creating a new official Guinness World Record.
Pub manager Matt Bower said: "Customers at The Packhorse Inn joined in enthusiastically with the world record attempt and I am delighted that it has been broken.
"It is fantastic that the pub's customers played their part so successfully in creating a new Guinness World Record."
