Branch Manager Trainee

Company Overview:

PRP Wine International has been sharing fine wines exclusively to our clients through educational and fun wine tastings held in their homes and offices since 1972 in the USA.  PRP’s approach to wine enjoyment at home is based on “enjoyment without risk".  Whether a client wants to enjoy trying one of our premium wines from regions like Napa Valley, Barolo and Bordeaux or a fine wine from dozens of other countries and regions around the world, they know exactly what they pay for without playing the famous game of “wine roulette."  PRP is dedicated to providing the best wines at competitive prices while ensuring our customers are always happy with their selections. 

We also provide our clients many opportunities to come and taste from our portfolio of over 100 new wines each year during events like Boat Cruises, Food and Wine Tastings, Warehouse Sales, Hotel Wine Tastings, Exhibitions, Virtual Wine Tastings, and other unique educational events.

PRP has more than 100,000 customers in the USA using this unique service and enjoying the benefits of “try before you buy".  The one-on-one relationship with their wine consultant allows customers the opportunity of discovering and appreciating the wide range of wines, grape varieties, wine growing regions, estates and vintages.  And so, the wine lover can become a connoisseur through their experiences of guided the wine tastings with their personal wine consultant. 

PRP Wine International is a market innovator of wine gifts for business through personalized labels and etched wine accessories.  We are also involved in sharing our concept through Charity Fund Raisers and Networking events giving back to the communities that support us around the country.
