We’re passionate about wine-and we know you are too.
That’s why we wanted to give our customers a chance to get together, share their experiences, let us know what you’re thinking. Hence the Tesco Wine Community was born.
We hope you like it!
Who we are
The Tesco Wine Team is a diverse bunch, you might recognise a few familiar faces from the Tesco Wine Magazine or perhaps from our annual wine fairs, which are our chance to get out and about meeting the people who buy the wine we work hard to get on our shelves!
So, who's who?
Laura, James & Graham work as a team of three. Together they cover 14 countries looking for interesting wines to offer our customers-they taste their way through all levels of wine, constantly tasting and blending to ensure that only the best examples reach you. All supported by a team of buyers working with suppliers to offer new and exciting wines.
Laura Jewell
Laura has been a Master of Wine for 14 years, only a few hundred people in the world hold this title-so it’s a pretty big deal! A recent addition to the team Laura joined Tesco earlier this year and is passionate about encouraging people to try new wines – that’s why she’s so excited about the Tesco Wine Community...
"There is such an enormous variety of wine out there so keep experimenting, learning from others experience and taking on board their recommendations"
James Griswood
James' first job in an off licence whilst at university ignited his love of wine. James has worked at wineries in France, South Africa and Spain. Spanish wines are a real passion, as is cooking so he’s always eager to find the perfect food and wine combinations.
Graham Nash
Graham has spent over 20 years in the wine industry, including grape harvesting in Alsace and Bordeaux. He now concentrates on seeking out new and exciting wines for customers to try.
Wine by the case is the way you can buy in bulk online, discover a wider range and also experience the convenience of delivery direct to your door, as such we have a small team who are responsible for getting the wines & our customers to the website.
Nick Juby
Wine has been Nick’s passion for over 30 years. Nick has the enviable job of putting together our mixed cases you’ll find on the Wine by the case, in fact he’s sourced thousands over the years, always challenging himself to deliver a winning combination of great wines at the very best price.
Jo Grudgings
Jo has looked after the marketing of wine by the case for the last 2 years, & in that time developed a real love of New World Sauvignon Blanc’s! As a customer champion she’s always keen to put customers in touch with the best offers and deals.
Lisa Thomas
One of our newest recruits Lisa joined the team in January, super organised she’s responsible for making sure that the Wine Magazine lands on your door!
Zoe Macerlean
Not technically a member of the wine team, Zoe is responsible for Social media at Tesco. Keen to learn more about one of her favourite past-times, drinking wine, Zoe will be sharing the highs and lows of her wine education with you all!
Hannah Johnson
Hannah is the Tesco Wine community manager eager to ask and do her best at answering questions here as well as joining in any general discussion around her favourite topic - wine! Having developed a real passion for red wine over the last few years, on an evening Hannah can mostly be found debating over which grape to go for that night - Malbec, Tempranillo or Rioja?
Wine advisors
John-Paul, Gareth, Scott, Fiona and Jackie are responsible for helping customers . From weddings to Christmas parties, this team can find the right wine for you! Need their help? They are only a phone call away!
