To thrive as a Fine Wine Specialist, you need deep knowledge of viticulture, wine regions, tasting techniques, and typically some formal wine education such as WSET certification. Familiarity with inventory management systems, point-of-sale software, and wine evaluation tools is commonly required.

Both roles require wine knowledge, but Sommeliers focus more on customer interaction and service, whereas Fine Wine emphasizes wine quality and collection.

Job description

PRP Wine International has been sharing fine wines exclusively to our clients through educational and fun wine tastings held in their homes and offices since 1972 in the USA. PRP's approach to wine enjoyment at home is based on "enjoyment without risk". Whether a client wants to enjoy trying one of our premium wines from regions like Napa Valley, Barolo and Bordeaux or a fine wine from dozens of other countries and regions around the world, they know exactly what they pay for without playing the famous game of "wine roulette." PRP is dedicated to providing the best wines at competitive prices while ensuring our customers are always happy with their selections. We are so customer centric that we even guarantee the enjoyment of our wines once our clients pour them in their home upon delivery. If a client is ever not happy with a selection they made PRP will honor their request to make them whole again with another selection.
The way we introduce our wines to our clients is through wine tastings in private and intimate environments where the wines being poured and the information shared is based 100% on the needs of the particular group or individual wine drinkers.
We also provide our clients many opportunities to come and taste over 100 new wines each year during events like Boat Cruises, Food and Wine Tastings, Warehouse Sales, Hotel Wine Tastings, Exhibitions and other unique educational events.
PRP has more than 100,000 customers in the USA using this unique service and enjoying the benefits of "try before you buy". The one-on-one conversation also gives customers the opportunity of discovering and appreciating the wide range of wines, grape varieties, wine growing regions, estates and vintages. And so, the wine lover becomes a connoisseur and the wine tasting an experience. The increasingly confusing and extensive variety of national and international wines coming to the market have caused growing uncertainty in the customer and this is where our service, personified by the wine consultant, comes in.
PRP Wine International is a market innovator of wine gifts for business through personalized labels and etched wine accessories. We are also involved in sharing our concept through Charity Fund Raisers and Networking events giving back to the communities that support us around the country.
