After years of buying blind in supermarkets and being constantly disappointed I never really got into wines.

What is all the fuss about? I thought. French, Italian, new world or old world, its all the same, surely?

I never knew how wrong I was until just over 2 years ago whilst in Hong Kong, I met the guys at Winerack Hong Kong in my family’s hometown of Sai Kung. I started off just wanting a part time job but after a few months I became addicted to exploring the world of wine and went full-time.

“I learnt so much and will be forever grateful to my colleagues at Winerack Hong Kong for introducing me to the world of wine and after visiting so many Wine expos and meeting so many potential suppliers I just thought it would be amazing to be able to bring this back home to Devon”.
