Wrong answer...
Wine Quiz Answer: C. Explore which jobs fit your skills and passion
There are a number of careers in wine: winemakers, viticulturalists (vineyard managers), winery restaurant chefs, marketers, public relations managers (either at a winery or with a firm that specializes in the wine industry), accountants, general managers, winery owners, investors, retailers, importers, buyers, sommeliers, auctioneers, consultants, tour operators, accessory store managers, events organizers, tasting room managers and writers.
Think carefully about what skills you have and what type of work you like because these jobs vary dramatically in what they entail. Think too of considerations such as hours, pay and credentials required. I’ve written about winemakers and sommeliers (you can find these in my Articles section). For these and other careers, your best bet is talk to someone already doing that job and to shadow them for a day or two.
