WINE tasting and smelling was all in a day's staff development work for the sales team at Templeton Beer Wine & Spirit Co.
As a result, they have all been awarded the WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) Level 1.
The certification gives the team a greater knowledge about the wines they sell, the characteristics of key grape varieties and the importance of food and wine pairing.
Recently joining the team as wine executive is Sarah Hughes.
Following 16 years in the hotel and restaurant trade, Sarah's primary role is to develop customers' wine lists and menus, and illustrate how this can enhance the dining and drinking experience of their own customers, through the correct wine offering.
She was joined in gaining the award by managing director Lyndon Belt and colleagues Graham Owens, Mark Howells and Darren Latham.
Templeton Beer Wine & Spirit Co makes deliveries daily across west Wales of its own Anniversary Wine Collection from growers, shippers and importers across the world.
Said Mr Belt: "Over the last ten years, Templeton have built a clear understanding of their customers' demands and needs."
