Fine Wine Adviser - Stevenage
The Vacancy
The Fine Wine Advisers exist to maximise long-term value, access, and understanding of wine for Members, while also supporting the sustainable operation of our member-centric approach.
They have a deep passion and knowledge of Fine Wine and are motivated to translate this across a segment of our Membership through offering exceptional service, access to rare parcels and mature stocks and providing drinking advice on Reserves.
They are the first point of contact for Members who are thirsty for more, and as such will provide opted-in Members on tailored advice on what to buy, collect and drink.
The Company
The Wine Society has recently celebrated its 150th birthday!

With a strong reputation for integrity and ‘doing the right thing’, we are renowned as one of the UK’s leading wine merchants. We are a responsible business, committed to making sure that everything we do, across all aspects of the business, is good for the people we work with, good for the products we sell and, above all, good for the planet.
Job Description
Summary TWS
The Wine Society is the world’s oldest member-owned community of wine lovers, with more than 180,000 members and an award-winning range of some 1,400 wines. Since 1874 we’ve been doing business differently, putting our members before profit to ensure fairer bottle prices for both the people that enjoy them, and for those who make them. Because we don’t need to keep external shareholders happy, we’re able to put profits back into lower prices and services, so our members get exceptional quality in every bottle they buy.
