Abstract
This paper reports a case of dental erosion apparently caused by wine tasting. Dental erosion can cause extensive damage to the dentition, thereby creating a variety of complex restorative problems. Within the literature dental erosion has been attributed to many factors, but to date there are no documented cases specifically linking it with wine tasting. The dental professional is ideally placed to implement early preventive regimes which would make the occupation less damaging to the dentition
