Hi, I’m Jack — and I’m passionate about making wine feel interesting, approachable and genuinely enjoyable.
What started with family ties to France and countless trips across the Channel gradually turned into a fascination not just with wine itself, but with the people, places and stories behind every bottle. For me, wine has always been about far more than what’s in the glass.
Over the years, that interest turned into a real passion through collecting and investing in wine, achieving my WSET Level 3 in Wines, and exploring wine regions around the world. Alongside my background in Education and Geography, it’s shaped the way I talk about wine today — relaxed, approachable and focused on stories and experiences rather than snobbery.
Through Twelve Degrees Wine, I host tailored tastings, wine experiences and consultancy designed to make wine accessible, memorable, and fun — whether you’re completely new to wine or already deeply passionate about it.

What people are saying
“His knowledge is incredible, but he keeps it light and engaging so you never feel ‘bogged down.’ If you want to actually understand what’s in your glass while having a laugh, this is the place.”
“The perfect way to spend a Friday night. It was my first time at a wine tasting and I was so impressed by the variety of the selection. It’s the perfect balance of learning something new and just having a great time with a glass (or six) in hand. Highly recommended!”
“We had a great night, really impressed with the knowledge of the wines and the variety.”
“Loved it. Interesting stories about the winemakers. Wine was flowing. Jack was a brilliant host.”
“Absolutely brilliant evening. Jack is a total star—he makes the world of wine feel so accessible and fun without any of the usual pretension. The stories behind the labels were a highlight, and the wine certainly didn’t stop flowing! We’ll definitely be back for the next themed night.”
“A great experience at the Australia vs New Zealand wine tasting. Highly recommended and shout out to Jack for hosting.”
