Horeca

Staff members who are trained well sell more wine. This translates directly to increased sales and profits. Wine Lab is proud to offer specialty services to HORECA outlets, particularly those who do not employ an on-site sommelier. Increase sales by giving a basic wine training to your staff, or get your entire staff WSET certified. Wine Lab can also review your food and wine menus to create optimal wine pairings based on what you already have available. 

On-Site WSET Training

High-margin wine sales are a great way to increase profits in any business in the beverage sector. If your HORECA outlet sells wine, your staff should have the knowledge to confidently recommend wine to customers. The best way to train your staff to certify them with a WSET qualification.

  • Trained staff are more likely to upsell wines, leading to increased profit. 
  • WSET is the global standard for theoretical and practical wine knowledge and food-and-wine pairing.
  • Wine Lab offers private WSET courses to HORECA with group discounts available.
  • Courses can be run on-site at your restaurant or at a Wine Lab venue.
