New Member: Trevor Sharot

After university, Trevor Sharot vowed never to take any more exams. Some years later, he discovered a subject that required drinking Champagne in the exam hall! That changed everything.

Trevor now runs GrapeDeal, a wine consultancy based in London, majoring on writing, photography and presentation. He gained the DipWSET, is Secretary of the Central London Wine Society and President of a Fine Wine Lunch club.

He is published in La Revue du vin de France (Mandarin edition), and is the author of the book Isle Drink, a guide to all the world’s 180-odd wine-producing islands. His forthcoming monograph is Wine on Wheels, an account of how the coming of the railway in the 19th century transformed the world of wine.
