Ed Adams MW
Ed Adams MW joined the wine trade in 1983 after dabbling with radio journalism in his home city of Bristol, England.

Adams then spent seven years as a buyer for the Co-op in Manchester after which he became QC and purchasing director for Western Wines for 12 years until 2006.
Since then, he has been working on the La Báscula Spanish wine project with South African winemaker partner Bruce Jack, where they are working with some of Spain’s top producers. He also consults for Lidl UK.
Ed was first a DWWA judge in 2005.
