Zoom #SkillsChallenge workshop:

In our second, free workshop tonight at 6 pm (find our more here) we host Mike Ratcliffe of Vilafonté, Bubbles Hyland (@wellredwinemagazine) and Louw Strydom of Ken Forrester to discuss wine marketing skills. We believe that identifying and sharing skills is one way we can assist the heavily-impacted hospitality industry. We are also offering 4 apprenticeships at Wine Cellar, please email CVs to apprenticeship@winecellar.co.za. Last week, the Wine Cellar sales team discussed 10 fine wine selling skills. Let’s all #upskill and #reskill the workforce.

Level 3 delivery information:

We are busy processing a large number of backlogged orders and are confident of dispatching them early next week. There will, however, be delivery delays due to the high courier volumes. Therefore, we cannot state any exact delivery dates.
