the wine world is changing…
My name is Robert Joseph, and I’d like to use my experience and imagination to help you to understand and work with this changing environment.
And maybe to cooperate in the creation of successful new brands…

Alternatively, I could offer you insight into how the wine world really works and its likely future evolution.
Or maybe we might work together to create a successful wine brand
If you are looking for a consultant, my varied client list includes Accolade, Château Brane-Cantenac,
Château Malartic-Lagravière, McGuigan Wines, Torres, Esterhazy, Origin Wines and the generic organisations of Australia, Brazil, Georgia, Moldova and Portugal.
As a futurist, over nearly four decades, I was among the first to identify the likely growth of New World brands in the UK, the evolution of varietal wines in Europe, the impact of the internet and the move towards alternative packaging and closures.
Would you like to know what I think may be about to happen next?
If you need words of any kind, my background includes launching successful consumer and trade magazines, writing over 25 books, and creating ebooks and printed books for Wines of Brazil, McGuigan Wines and Chateau Malartic Lagraviere
If you are thinking of creating an event, I was co-founder of the International Wine Challenge in the UK, Asia and Russia and built it into the world’s biggest wine competition.
When it comes to assessing wine quality and commercial viability, I am co-chair of 5 Star Wines and on the board of MundusVini, and am frequently asked to judge wines of every kind.
Le Grand Noir, the innovative French wine brand I conceived in 2005 and co-own, now sells over 3.8m bottles per year, in 65 countries.
The equivalent of one every eight seconds.
I have similar ambitions for K’AVSHIRI my exciting new project from Georgia…
I have given keynote presentations for organisations and companies across the world, have taught business students in the US, China, and Europe and am former visiting professor at the Burgundy Business School
In 2018, I was honoured to win the inaugural Born Digital / Vinventions Innovation Award
“Robert Joseph is the “go-to” innovator in wine, constantly identifying key trends and new technology from other categories and applying them successfully to wine”
