This site aims to do two things: first, on Wednesdays to allow me to rant about wines I like and those parts of the wine industry I do or don'tt like without an editor telling me what I've written is libelous or offensive to advertisers or the proprietor; second, on Thursdays to pass on to anyone who logs on my analysis of the best value wines being offered by the major wine retailers - as I have been doing for friends and family for a decade or so. As you can see there is no advertising to sway my opinions and, apart from samples (and the odd free lunch) I am incorruptible, so what you get is my opinion influenced only by the taste of the wine and the comments of my drinking mates.
