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!!)
It is now common knowledge that WrapIt, the wedding list service are unfortunately suffering with financial difficulties and this is obviously affecting all of their existing customers.
We may be able to help in respect of the supply of Schott Zwiesel, Riedel Glassware, Dartington, Nachtmann and Screwpull as most ranges of these companies are either kept constantly in stock by ourselves, (if in stock and ordered before 12:00 noon Monday to Friday we usually dispatch the same day). Or are generally easily obtainable at relatively short notice.
Whilst we cannot unfortunately help with current financial issues we may be able to assist with new purchases and the supp and delivery of such products.
