The Guardian, Fiona Beckett - Wine: Local Heros

Wine: Local Heros
Independent wine merchants have a reputation as being expensive. But set preconceptions aside, and there are bargains to be had the equal of any in a supermarket, says Fiona Beckett

Ten Green Bottles is altogether funkier. This shop and wine bar in Brighton supplies restaurants as diverse as The Fat Duck and MsMarmitelover's Underground Restaurant. They specialise in hard-to-find bottles such as biodynamic Saumur producer Domaine de la Paleine's Scherzo 2008 (£10.99; 14% abv), a lovely, off-dry chenin that would add real class to jazzed-up turkey leftovers (creamy or spicy).

Ten Green Bottles at the Underground Market

Think of a combination between part 'Come Dine with me', a festival and the atmosphere on a good bbq in the garden and you have the brilliant Underground Market.

Hosted by one of my favourite foodies and all round inspirational bundle of creative energy Ms Marmite - ie Kirsten, it has developed from the idea behind the Underground Restaurant. In its' second form, the stalls were literally in every room except the bathroom, toilet and her daughters room. The quality of the stalls exhibiting was just outstanding - delicious jerk chicken from the Carib Underground, vegan chocolates from Lorraine and heavenly chocolate brownies (chocolate & me are friends!), the Underground Tea Party girls and wine tasting from Ten Green Bottles.

The Drinks Business - Virtual Store Turns Physical

Online-based merchant and supplier Tengreenbottles is branching out by opening its first retail outlet this month.

Based in Brighton, East Sussex, The Wine Shop and Tasting Room will feature more than 200 wines, 90% of which are exclusive to the UK store.

The high proportion of exclusive wines at The Wine Shop & Tasting Room are a result of the wines being sourced directly from the vineyard by the company’s owners.

Founding partner Simon Broad said of the project: “This venture gives us the chance to share our love of wine and food with our customers face-to-face, and to showcase little known gems from some of the forgotten wine regions of the world - alongside old favourites.”

Tengreenbottles, which “prides itself on being able to offer unique products," including "a range of premium spirits,” will also stock Camden Town Brewery’s beers in-store, one of the few microbreweries to make a lager alongside ale.

Customers will be able to buy a bottle to take away or to open and enjoy on-premise, while on weekday evenings the store plans to offer a selection of complimentary crostini with any wine purchase.

The new shop can be found on 9 Jubilee Street, Brighton while Tengreenbottles can be visited on www.tengreenbottles.com

Daily Telegraph : 10 Top Wines from 10 Top Independent Wine Sellers

Small wine sellers have a knack for uncovering some gems.

Ten Green Bottles is the new kid on the Brighton block. Hitherto an online merchant only, specialising in French, Italian and Spanish producers too small for the supermarkets, it opens its first shop this week. This is a great value, terroir-expressive red from Abruzzo, full of ripe, savoury red fruit and silky tannins. Ideal to drink with rich pasta dishes.
