We thought the dream job didn’t exist – but then we heard that there’s a company looking for prosecco lovers in Leeds to taste test their newest bottles.
Yorkshire wine company House of Townend is on the hunt for people to sample different bottles of sparkling wine and prosecco and give their honest feedback.
You’ll be paid in prosecco, being given as many as 6 different bottles to try a fortnight. It’s the ideal job for a wine enthusiast, ideally, one who knows their cuvee from their brut.
Naturally, the winery is looking for someone who’s passionate about wine and understands the rhetoric that goes with wine tasting.
The lucky candidate will be selected by the House of Townend to start on a one-month contract, with a view to moving onto something more long-term after that initial period.
The company is asking for applicants to have “endurance, commitment, and an exquisite palate.”
You’ll be expected to feedback every fortnight on the bottles you’ve tasted, which means trying at least six bottles every couple of weeks. There are no rules about not enlisting help, though!
Working directly with the innovation and customer service team, it’s hoped that the successful applicant will also be able to advise on new product selection for sparkling wine and help the winery to make some improvements on its existing products.
The winning applicant will rate taste, texture, and length, as well as suggesting areas for improvement.
You will get to sample a range of the company’s best prosecco and sparkling wines, reporting on the primary, secondary, and tertiary aromas.
The role, which officially starts in September, is for strictly over 18’s only and is paid in prosecco.
The application deadline is August 30. To apply, click here.
