What I Do
Writing & Editorial
As a freelance writer, I've written for a variety of B2B and B2C publications including Decanter, Harpers Wine & Spirit and Drinks Retailing since 2017. I am a member of the Circle of Wine Writers and I am open to new writing opportunities, including copywriting work. Some samples of my published work are linked to here and I also write a regular blog via Substack at jasondrinks.com

Tastings
Wine is an excellent way to bring people together. I have over a decade of experience running events that bring wines, beers and spirits to life. I offer introductions to wine to in-depth regional fine wine master classes, as well as corporate and client entertainment, hosted dinners and networking events. As a DipWSET I also offer wine courses, workshops and tasting practice for all WSET exam levels.

Consultancy
I offer consultancy for represented and unrepresented wineries looking for guidance on the best routes to the UK market. This includes advice on branding, distribution, pricing, positioning and representation, including connecting them with the right industry figures and buyers in the complex British market.
Judging
As the top WSET Diploma graduate globally in 2016, I have been invited to judge and assess a wide range of wines and spirits internationally. I have worked extensively with both Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA), International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC), Harpers Wine & Spirit and others to provide assessment, expertise and feedback on wines.
