Welcome to cork and bottle, your guide to all things vinous and spiritual.

Originally launched in 2005 it is fast becoming a comprehensive view into today’s world of wine, spirits and fine living.

I am Pieter Rosenthal, a qualified WSET Diploma graduate and educator and freelance wine consultant. Early in 2009 I was awarded the inaugural ‘Thierry Cabanne Scholarship’ which has allowed me to gain a fantastic insight into the workings of wine importer Thierry’s in July of that year, as well as working on a number of projects researching the use of social media in the wine trade. Check out vinopions for the links to the Harpers blog I wrote about the experience. I continue to work with Thierry's on a variety of projects, including Thierry's blog.

I provide a professional wine consultancy service for wine companies relating to education and the use of social media. I also provide consultancy to restaurants and hotels, including wine list design and training.

I am a WSET

certified educator and able to deliver WSET Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced level training (L1-L3)

Furthermore I arrange wine tastings and workshops in Glasgow and Edinburgh for private as well as corporate clients through www.wineunearthed.co.uk. See whats new for upcoming dates for the various workshops and tastings.
