wine tasting...anyone??

[suzycreamcheese]

amongst my ideas of what to re-train as but dont know much about how employment works (need to fit round school hours) .but saw course at local college to see if i can do it well, well have practised long enough....

when idea came i laughed as did dh ...call that work?...but it truly appeals...

...but school is long way off ..2 years...i have time to retrain as something else??? and i dont know really what..

HELP!

wine tasting work would be evening work though (you could get a job somelier in a restaurant).

senoraP ..this is sounding good..
i wondered wine importers that kind of thing..shit turned down job years ago at one, only remembered that now!

has anyone taken an evenin course in it? what are they like??

who does wine tasting in the evening then?

will i meet sad professional types out to impress the dinner party circuit??

..or will it just be me?....

Ooh, I thought you were starting a wine tasting club there for a minute! I thought, that sounds right up my street!

sorry, suzy: I meant most of the jobs would be as someliers in restaurants, and they work in the evening. Jobs at importers etc would presumably go to people who have been one of those for a few years. I really don't think you'll find a "school hours" job in it.

what other courses did they have?

unless you want to work in Oddbins or the like?

would love to do this too but AFAIK it's all about contacts, lots of slog in retail trade working yr way up.

but you don't need a course in wine to do that, and I doubt there'd be many school hours jobs.

Not a job for me...you have to spit it out

actually on a whim while on mat leave,I wandered into my local branch and they do send all staff on wine-tasting courses (cert I think). But yes, school hours notthe most likely times for wine buying!

well gulping the stuff now ..a crisp to the point pinot grigio if interested..
...just had horrid rash scare!..and can safely rule out looking for any medical related work, nerves in shreds here!!

i was wondering about wine importers and the like..never thought about the wine stores..
but they must need buyers too!

am going to ring college about course anyhow for more details info etc

..its just one of my 'ideas' for things to do when school begins and so hours are uber important....
