What's Purple Teeth?
I love wine. I love sharing wine, helping people get the most from their wine, and spreading the love of wine.
This site is for amateur wine lovers, taking out the blah, blah, blah and adding the slurp, slurp, slurp. And why "Purple Teeth"?
Have you enjoyed a good bottle of shiraz and then looked in the mirror?

This site will grow, and I'd love your feedback on what you'd like to see here.
In the meantime, you'll find basic wine information, information on wine tasting events and my wine blog.

Helping you love wine more, and love more wines
This site is not about encouraging you to spend £200 on a bottle of wine. If that's your wine budget, quite possibly, you already know more than you'll learn here.
What I'd like to do is help you choose the best wine for your budget, expand your knowledge and enjoyment of wine, demystify the wine list and help you have fun with wine. My personal philosophy is that I'd rather have one £15 bottle than two £7.50 bottles - but only if the £15 is twice as nice. I'm pleased to say I've enjoyed some of the world's most iconic wines like Penfold's Grange (Aussie shiraz), Opus One (Californian Cabernet), and Vega Sicilia (Spanish Tempranillo) along with many other premium wines. I've visited Bordeaux, Burgundy, Mendoza, Stellenbosch, Sonoma, Napa as well as vine estates in Switzerland, Spain and the UK. It's fair to say, I've tested the market. <It's a tough job but someone's got to do it>. The special wines are great. But they're just that - special. For most, they're to be enjoyed once in a lifetime, if we get lucky. Purple Teeth is more about wine you'll feel fine about opening on a Tuesday night with a friend. I also hope to help you find more enjoyable wines for your weekends and special occasions, and perhaps even make wine into your special occasion!

Remember to enjoy your wine safely...
For a woman, 2-3 units per day is the recommended maximum allowance. This equates to around one standard "pub measure" glass of wine - 175ml of 13% alcohol wine is 2.3 units (and a scary 140 calories). Remember, enjoy sensibly.You'll find all the facts you need about safe, moderate drinking at the Drinkaware.co.uk site. Purple Teeth supports safe drinking. Never drive or operate machinery after drinking alcohol.
