Purple Pages – a haven for wine enthusiasts

Jancis Robinson is one of the world’s greatest authorities on wine and her ‘Purple pages’ form the heart of her website which in 2010 was voted the first ever ‘Wine Website of the Year’ in the Louis Roederer International Wine Writers Awards.

About a third of all the information on www.JancisRobinson.com is free to everyone.  However, to access 57,000 tasting notes, learn about the latest bargains and get the best investment advice on 2010 Bordeaux, you need to be a member of Purple pages – the members’ area of the site.  Whether you are an enthusiastic novice or a seasoned expert, the articles and tasting notes are easy to follow and straight talking.  Unlike many websites,www.JancisRobinson.com has wit, real personality, complete independence from advertising and sponsorship, and covers every corner of the wine producing world.

Top chefs and sommeliers, winemakers and celebrities, ranging from Phillip Schofield to Francis Ford Coppola, all regularly make use of the daily updates on the world’s ultimate guide to wine.  Jancis also advises on The Queen’s cellar.

On top of benefitting from the unusually well-informed and courteous fellow members on the Purple pages forum, you can take advantage of two or three new articles posted every day as well as exclusive online access to the multi award-winning reference work, The Oxford Companion to Wine (edited by Jancis), and the unrivalled maps of the World Atlas of Wine (written by Jancis and Hugh Johnson) – both of which are fully searchable.

A year’s membership to Purple pages is just £69, and often gives you advance warning of her popular ‘Wines of the Week’.  Wines that get the thumbs up from Jancis tend to sell out, and in many cases appreciate in value, remarkably quickly.

A year’s membership to Purple pages is one of the most exclusive, original and rewarding presents that you can buy for yourself or a friend.
