BAME WINE PROFESSIONALS

Mags has spent his entire working life in the wine industry, starting off as a Wine Specialist at his local Waitrose before a couple of years selling wine to both the on- and off-trade, including a stint at Majestic Wine's commercial arm. He was most recently a Senior Account Manager at Roberson where he worked with major UK supermarkets. Mags recently set up his own company MJ Wine Cellars offering wine education and consultancy services... For him, ‘ethnic diversity in the wine industry has been an uncomfortable and much-avoided topic. Fortunately, the wine industry and society as a whole is now giving this the spotlight it deserves. My goal at BAME Wine Professionals UK is to unearth, celebrate and promote BAME talent in the wine industry. I strongly believe the industry will be richer and better for more diversity.'... We can't wait for the time when there are so many BAME wine professionals that we no longer need to use the term BAME!
