Table Wine is a retail wine store located in South Asheville. We are seeking a full-time Wine Sales Consultant to start in late September - early October of 2025. Starting pay is $20/hour, this is a full-time position (39 hours/week), and it's a great opportunity for someone with a solid foundation of general wine knowledge who is looking to learn and grow in the wine industry.
Table Wine opened in 2010 and the store focuses on wines from small, family owned and operated wineries from all over the world. The key to our success is outstanding customer service combined with our unique and dynamic selection of wines from smaller producers and highly regarded importers.
This is a great opportunity for someone who already has some wine experience and who wants to pursue a career in the wine business. The store is staffed by a fun group of wine geeks (not snobs), and you would be surrounded by folks who love wine, food, and people, and love sharing their passion for all three! The position also presents growth opportunities both within and outside the shop.
We love to promote from within, and the average staff tenure is 2+ years (because it's a fun job!). In addition, several Table Wine alumni have taken the next step, and they now work with distributors and importers, and they launched their careers by working at the shop. If you love wine, a fun and stimulating working environment, and want to increase your knowledge of fine wine, we would love to have you join our team.
