Update: Thank you so much for all your offers. It has blown me away. I'll be going through all 236 of them over the weekend and will assign the task on Monday! Thank you! ------------------ Do you like wine? Are you keen to support independent Aussie wine producers? Then we need you to help taste and describe our wines for everyday Aussie wine drinkers (and you’ll be paid $1k) for it!) I’m Alicia from Naked Wines and I lead a team who are doing things a bit differently in the wine industry. We search out and back the best independent Aussie and Kiwi winemakers to make their best wine directly for our customers (we call them Angels). By side-stepping the typical marketing and distribution costs, Angels get more of the things they can actually taste (wine), at prices that are up to 40% less than the bottle shop. So now you know who we are, here’s more about that tasty task... Twice a year, a panel of taste masters come together to check the quality of our wines and compare them directly to similar wines available in bottle shops. The next one’s in July. To make sure we talk like real people when we describe these wines on our website, we want a non-industry wine enthusiast on that panel. Angels don’t want to read about malolactic gubbins and 50 shades of oak – they want good, honest, everyday Aussie explanations. And this is where you come in. The skills and experiences that will help you shine in this task. You… … like drinking wine (of course) … are prepared to try a LOT of different wines in a day (spittoon provided!) … can clearly describe how something tastes to you … are over 18 years of age and resident in Australia Specifically, we’re not looking for industry professionals here... Just your awesome self. As well as $1,000, we’ll give you tips and training on how to sip, swill and spit and a private wine tasting with one of our rockstar winemakers at their place in the country! When you need to be available - The tasting panel will take place at our Manly office in Sydney over one full day in late July 2021 (we’re working on the exact day at the moment). If you’re not from Sydney, you can definitely still apply - you’ll just need to make your own way to Sydney for the event. It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it. Is that you? Apply now, telling us why you are the best person for this task. OFFERS CLOSE JUNE 23

New!

Hey there! The question is, does your wine taste like the moment you put your kids to bed, kick the shoes off your swollen fat feet, take off that ridiculous bra and finally flop down on the couch for some Bachelorette viewing? Or does it taste like Gary from accounts cornered you at the work party for another one of his boring stories from that time he went backpacking in India? I’m certain you’ve got a million people applying for this job already, but the honest truth is that I really need a break when it comes to money. haha! I really love red wine and this would be the perfect opportunity to give white wine another chance (cause a lot of it sucks). I’m also available / flexible most of July. Fingers crossed!
