Collection: Phillip Schofield Wine collection

Why is Phillip Schofield involved with When in Rome Wine? How did the partnership come together with Phillip Schofield?

When in Rome Wine were first introduced to Phillip through a mutual contact as part of his work as a Waitrose Wine ambassador. As many will know he is somewhat of a wine connoisseur in his spare time and has dreams of owning a vineyard at some point. We couldn’t offer him that, but we could give him the next best thing- his own wines, in a box! He is also very environmentally conscious, so we were a good fit for each other We met a few times, he wanted to be on the tasting panel, and play a full role in the selection of the final wines. We were able to give him autonomy- the final decision was hisbecause he wanted an authentic experience and wanted to know what he was putting his name to. We think he has made some very good choices.What are Phillips thoughts on the final wines? From Phillip: “When I agreed to this partnership, I had certain conditions; I wanted to be part of the tasting team, I wanted figures on how eco-friendly box wine was and I wanted it to be good value. The result is something I felt I could really invest in “I have really enjoyed the process of sourcing, selecting, and now sharing these wines with everyone. I don’t think there is anything I have been so passionate about, so I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do.”
