Wine training for trade
Premier Wine Training offers wine training for trade, including hospitality and retail sectors. Building on product knowledge, we focus also on the sell-through process. Research conducted jointly by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) and a leading UK retailer showed that a £4,000 investment in training resulted in a sales increase of £42,000 in the following quarter.
Corporate and Private Wine Tastings offered
Premier Wine Training now offers corporate wine tastings and private wine tastings. Wine events are a fantastic way to entertain clients, reward staff, or just provide entertainment! The relaxed environment, interesting content, lively presentation style, coupled with appreciation of the wine itself are key components to delivering a memorable evening!
