Roddy Button

Roddy Button started his career working for a centuries-old wine company in Bristol. His responsibilities included the enjoyable task of decanting and tasting wines from the ‘Directors Bin’, some of which dated back to the late 19th century.

When the business was taken over by a large wine and spirit company, Roddy moved to London to work on the marketing and advertising of various wine and spirit products.

Having successfully completed all the Wine and Spirit Education Trust’s exam courses, right through to Diploma, Roddy is now an AIWS, Associate member of the Institute of Wines and Spirits.

Roddy is passionate about wine and, along with Mike Oliver, his co-author of ‘The Wine Quiz Book’ and ‘Wine: 101 Truths, Myths and Legends', regularly attends international wine tastings in London, as well as travelling every year to different wine regions to meet producers and taste their wines.
