Out of pure curiosity, does anyone in here currently work in the wine industry? I’m interested to get a sense of experience levels here. (Not that it matters at all! We all learn at our own pace.)

I work in wine media now, but pre-pandemic was a Sommelier in restaurants in NYC.

Have any of my fellow corporate wine professionals made their way onto Fishbowl yet? 🍷

I’m a restaurant server…but haven’t done any wset or equivalent yet. Would love to eventually though

I worked hotels and restaurants for 10 years and made the switch to retail a few years back. Studying for my diploma now, and have some winery experience.

I am studying for my WSET level 2 right now in hopes to switch into industry with some more experience

former wine researcher, starting WSET diploma soon…probably

Working on it

I’m currently studying for my WSET Level 1 and considering going directly into Level 2 after. Planning to go into direct to consumer sales.

My dream job but I am afraid I would no longer be able to buy the wines I enjoy

And suggestions on where I could get started on making this transition?

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.
