Joint owner and a director of Wineware, I enjoy trying out the
latest samples of wine accessories, before they go 'Live' on the
web site. This way a lot of fine wine has to be drunk in the line
of duty, (a tough life I know, but someone's got to do it!!)
We try
to source the latest and most efficient
wine accessories available and it becomes worthwhile and really
pleasing when customers do take the time to email, or phone, to
say 'thank you for our glasses, decanters etc, they arrived the
next day, wonderfully packed and we have used them already'.
Any
free time I get is spent on the golf course and I'm currently a
member at Worthing Golf Club.

I'm the senior part of the joint ownership of the company (that's
the nicest way to put it). My wife and I began the company in June
2000 with the mainstay being 'anything to do with wine, apart from
wine' and we still live by this today.
I'm a Leicester City FC season
ticket holder for my sins, and
apart from doing many miles in supporting the Foxes my other loves
are collecting and drinking Fine Wines, and listening to and collecting
Smooth Jazz and Soul Music, with Brian Culbertson being the current
favorite.
My earlier career was as a Financial
Futures Trader on the LIFFE market in the City of London where for
the latter years of the open outcry market (before everything became
screen trading) I was self employed, having previously worked for
Citibank and a few smaller independent financial companies.
I love
my line of work and position and although being a bit of a workaholic
I love helping people, making their
wine drinking more pleasurable
and enjoying the same comforts myself (not forgetting I get to use
and try the majority of our products!!)
Riedel’s vision and creative wine glass designs and ideas appear inexhaustible. On our part, it is a definite problem attempting to keep every range in stock and available but we do endeavour to offer the entire collection as soon as it is available. Wineware is the largest stockist of Riedel Glasses and Decanters in the UK and you can guarantee that we have taken on board the new ranges recently released. The concentration, with Summer fast approaching, is on the ‘O’ range stemless glasses and the images do not do justice to the extravagantly named ‘Doozy’ 4 piece set of etched glasses and the ‘Crescendo’ glasses with pink bases in varying depths of colour. The glasses need to be seen close up to really appreciate the workmanship and design that has gone into creating these mini masterpieces!!
To explain a little further, the Riedel Doozy Wine Glasses are available in boxed gift sets of 4 Glasses, all cut individually into different patterns, whilst the Riedel Crescendo Wine Glasses are similar to the Riedel ‘Happy O’ Wine Glasses as the bases are coloured and come into full effect when filled with water.
