 David Andrews, DipWSET

David brings great enthusiasm to the wine industry, having left St Andrews university in 2019 and unsure quite where the job market would lead him, he began part time work in a small independent brewery, aptly named Titsey, where it was just him and the owner brewing small batch beer. David then joined Majestic Wine as a trainee manager in Shepherds Bush, moving through the store ranks to head office and now joining us at Winesdirect in 2023. He has completed his WSET Diploma qualification and looking forward to share his expert knowledge and tidbits of the wine world.

As well as being highly knowledgeable on the wine industry, David also loves to deconstruct a wine’s profile and create in depth tasting notes. You’ll find a few breakdowns on our website as well as on his Instagram: @oinosattheoikos

David is a big advocate of adventurous wines and exploring all there is to offer. He rarely buys the same wine twice and is often attracted to obscure grapes from lesser-known regions.

Champagne Tour: By Bike, Mercier Visit and Final Tastings - Part 6
The finale, part 6, combines two days in one where we had an amazing but extremely ambitious self-guided bike tour throughout various crus, our final official tour at Mercier and then last-minute tasting stops before returning on the Eurostar. There are of course quite a few routes that you can manage by bike around Champagne, but as we were based in Epernay, the route along the Marne was an obvious choice. There are a number of bike rentals in Epernay - We went for Facile-e-bike located at the…

The Latest Warehouse Wines Case Review
With changing seasons, new wines in the range and the desire to impress us, Warehouse Wines kindly sent me a selection of wines from their latest intro case to cast my opinion on. If you don’t know what sets them apart, it is their ability to leverage exceptional value through direct sourcing straight from the winemakers. Their key goal is to get their customers high-quality wines below £10. Yes, there are plenty of £10 and under wines on the market, but most are pretty awful examples of the…

Rex Mundi Wines: World ending or world changing?
Rex Mundi are wines as striking as their label. The flagship is a blend of Shiraz and Grenache from the Languedoc-Roussillon, where the Mediterranean climate is extremely favourable for wine production. Rex Mundi is not, as you might expect, yet another Hollywood celebrity, but Latin for ‘King of the World’. This stems from the Cathar religion, which began in this region of France during the 12th and 14th centuries. This fabled King was in fact some form of Satan who created all matter, thus…
