I\u2019m Charlie Geoghegan DipWSET. I\u2019m a writer, editor and marketer from Dublin, Ireland. I write about wine and the people who make it, and I work on marketing campaigns that help bring all of that to life. I live in London, where I\u2019m Senior Copywriter for\u00a0Berry Bros. & Rudd<\/a>, Britain\u2019s oldest wine merchant. My freelance writing has been published by Decanter, JancisRobinson.com, GuildSomm and the Wine Scholar Guild.<\/p>\n\n\n

I also write and edit a lot of short copy: wine tasting notes and product descriptions; wine label text; blog articles; website copy of all shapes and sizes; email marketing; social media copy; and more besides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an editor, I work with a lot of talented subject-matter experts including Masters of Wine and specialist wine buyers. Commissioning these people to write about wine is a pleasure. Editing what they write is a privilege. It\u2019s invariably a learning experience, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2012, wine has brought me from Dublin to Bordeaux to London. I\u2019ve worked closely with wine companies in countries including Canada, the USA, South Korea, China and Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve sold wine by the bottle, the pallet and occasionally the container. I\u2019ve stocked supermarket shelves and sold to trade buyers in many of the world\u2019s major wine markets. I\u2019ve spoken on panels and hosted tastings, masterclasses and wine dinners. I\u2019ve worked for and with wine producers in France, Australia, Italy and England. And I\u2019ve poured a lot of wine at trade shows and consumer wine tastings, from Manchester to Vancouver and Guangzhou to D\u00fcsseldorf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These various experiences have made me a better wine marketer and writer. Formal education and training have helped, too. I hold an MBA in wine marketing from INSEEC Wine & Spirits Institute in Bordeaux and a postgraduate diploma in marketing and management from Technological University Dublin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve also got some wine qualifications, including Italian Wine Scholar and Bordeaux Master-Level<\/a> certificates from the Wine Scholar Guild and the Level 4 Diploma Award in Wines from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
