The Hive Wine Consulting was founded in 2012 by Justin Howard-Sneyd MW.

Our mission is to create a world in which everyone loves drinking wine.

(OK, maybe ‘everyone’ is a bit hopeful – perhaps we should say: ‘everyone of legal drinking age who is not precluded by religion or health reasons’).

But we are ambitious and optimistic.

We work with a number of wine companies, wine producers, and wine retailers to help them achieve their potential.

“The point to grasp about Justin is that he is ‘the real thing’.  He has done everything, been everywhere, won all the plaudits and the prizes; worked hard and well and won in every position he has held. These are steady hands to put your faith in.”

Liz Robertson MW, Head of Wine at Safeway

“Justin has the ability to combine great enthusiasm and technical ability with strong analytical skills on consumer insight whilst all the time knowing that these have to be underpinned by a strong commercial instinct.”
