Ben Furst Wine Consultancy

Wine is better when it’s shared.

I’m Ben Furst. With over 25 years of experience in the wine trade, I help people discover, source and enjoy wine with greater confidence.

  • Experience you can draw on

    More than 25 years spent working with some of the UK’s finest wine merchants and representing remarkable wines from around the world.

  • Advice that makes sense

    Wine can be fascinating without being complicated. I’ll help you find what suits your taste, occasion and budget.

  • A more personal approach

    The best part of wine is often the people, places and conversations around it. Let’s start with what you enjoy.

About Ben

A lifetime in wine, shared with you.

I’ve spent more than 25 years getting to know the people, places and stories behind exceptional wines. Now I bring that experience to people who want thoughtful guidance and the pleasure of discovering something new.

You don’t need to know the right words or ask the “right” questions. Tell me what you’re looking for—or simply what you’ve enjoyed before—and we can take it from there.
