The EWGA Team is made up of an enthusiastic group of people who all work hard to ensure that the wines we sell are of great quality, look good and are
in the right place at the right time. Many of them have worked for the business for over 10 years and whilst a passion for wine isn’t a requirement of the
job most of the team have it. Regular meetings, weekends away and product tastings help to cement the loyal team.
