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.

Wine52 Case Review: Classic Italy
This month, Wine52 are returning to an old favourite, Italy. We have seen a few Italian cases from Wine52 over the past year, exploring Sicily, Puglia, Campania and more. And there is good reason for this. The beauty of Italy is that there is so much to explore, so many regions, so many indigenous grape varieties and so many regional specialties. You can keep returning to Italian wines for years and never get through them all. And no, I don’t mean your average Chianti or Barolo, but rather these…

Growing interest in the alcohol-free and low-alcohol sector has been a well-known phenomenon for quite some time now. Each year you’ll see headlines marvelling at how their market share keeps growing, but at some point, this incredulity has got to be toned down. It’s really not much of a surprise anymore. This clamour is led chiefly by beer and spirits, but wine has had a surge as the technology becomes more affordable and the market grows. The real surprise is quite how bad the communication…

Wine52 Case Review: The Winemaker's Way
Wine is often considered mystical, with many drinkers just enjoying the taste and using it in its traditional social lubricant role. However, this Wine52 case can begin to change all that for you. The reality is, that whilst there are a plethora of winemaking techniques that can seem daunting, they are actually very easy to understand. If you just put a few minutes of googling into use before diving into your glass, it will really open up your understanding and appreciation of what it is that…

January 2026 Clearance Sales!
January is increasingly the time that people give dry January a go and usually give up around about now. Good effort though! The fact is a dry month isn’t the secret to a healthier lifestyle, what you really need is a concerted effort to lower your overall consumption throughout the week (I include myself). For, as with dieting, there are no quick fixes (maybe Ozempic) nor cheat codes to healthier living, it has to be a permanent lifestyle change. I am not at all advocating for (un)Godly…
