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: Boizel & Moet et Chandon - Part 4
Welcome to part 4, which is a little overdue. We now take the tour from the mighty city of Reims to the smaller commune of Epernay, the principal trading post for Champagne in the region and home to many of the oldest, most prestigious houses. The drive between the two iconic Champagne locations is a joy in itself. Straight through the middle of the national park, I think there was only a 10-minute stretch in a wooded area that you couldn’t see sweeping vineyards and various other recognisable…

Around The World With Naked
Wine is nothing if not an international phenomenon that has brought people together for millennia. But, it is not just the social side that wine allows you to engage with. It allows you to engage with culture, taste and terroir from the comfort of your own home. We see it as a sensory exploration on a global scale. It’s your quickest, and likely best value, way of exploring a little of each country. Naked take this a step further. They have the wine from all over, but they also work directly…

Top Reasons To Join Naked Wines
Naked Wines are best known for their pioneering lead on a business model that most importantly benefits the winemakers themselves. The model acts as a sort of investment, allowing their members, known as Angels, to invest a small fee each month into their accounts that can be used on the next order. This both allows customers to save up for their next wine top-up and allows Naked to immediately invest in their winemakers. By bringing their customers closer to independent winemakers like this…

Champagne Tour: G.H.Martel & Veuve Clicquot - Part 3
Continuing on from day 2s events at Lanson and Pommery Champagne houses in Reims, the first port of call of the day was a slightly less early tasting at G.H Martel & Co for 11:30 followed by Veuve Clicquot later on. These guys are a slightly smaller house in the UK, although fairly big in the US. Their main production has now moved entirely to Epernay, where the house started in 1869, as they outgrew their Reims cellars and needed more space again to mature and produce their Champagne. Despite…

Award Winning Wines At Naked
We’ve always said that Naked make good, authentic wines thanks to their business model that invests in winemakers and puts them first. And the proof really is in the pudding. Naked’s Angels have helped catapult their winemakers to glory, bagging 4 Gold, 40 Silver and 74 Bronze medals at the International Wine Challenge, Decanter World Wine Awards and International Wine & Spirit Competition. These competitions put their wines directly up against some of the world’s most expensive too, so you know…
