GROG WHO?? The blurb...
*To be the first to know of Great Grog Offers & Events, e-mail me and we'll add you to the e-mailing list - only Grog circulars will be sent & we WON'T give your address to anyone else
Richard - life before Grog Janice - life before Grog
Simon - life before Grog
Heather - life before Grog
"Red" - life before Grog
Red (also know as Ian) was Oddbins' "Van man" in Edinburgh for 10 years (where Richard originally gave him the job!) until sloping across to join Grog about 8 years ago. Red only has his "Intermediate" wine exam but his road knowledge is Encyclopaedic. Likes to pretend he’s Neil Young and his blood is made from 100% Chardonnay. Red & Janice only recently discovered they stood in the same queues for Status Quo concerts 30 years ago. Oh how things could be so different today... Gary - life before Grog
Sleek, silent and stealthy like a Ninja. Highly organised and efficient. If you look at him for too long you turn into a goat. Has a morbid, muttering dislike of staircases (like most delivery folk). "Chris" - life before Grog
Big bloke, beard (sometimes). 6 foot 4 inches & 18 stone & can carry 8 cases of wine at once. When I say 18 stone, I mean 20 stone, he put on 2 stone in his month in Argentina (Argentina now has a shortage of red wine & red meat). He has played rugby for the Indian national team. Don’t dare call him ugly. Chris has a degree in Geophysics & is a qualified snowboard instructor. Probably the most overqualified van driver on the planet. Not quite as hairy in the flesh as his picture would suggest. Disappears for all of January snow surfing every (& I mean every) year, a tough life.. James - life before Grog
"John" - life before Grog General Sales Bod & DIY expert. Bought a state of the art racing bicycle which doesn't have brakes, pretty good in Holland methinks, Edinburgh?! ..strange he doesn't use it much. John is half sales half warehouse, but all man. John is also a thinking man's man. Only does three days a week so he can spend time thinking about doing DIY on his yacht in Monaco.GREAT GROG WAREHOUSE Site maintained by Richard, hence is definitely not perfect!

Behind every great man there’s a great woman. If it wasn‘t for Janice the rest of us would have no wine to sell, no money,
no fuel to put in the vans, no vans to put fuel in and so on and so forth. Allegedly sat down for a sandwich once. Has worked for Grog for 12 yrs (since childhood).
A ridiculously chirpy Teesider who was formerly known as an artist.
Simon loves a drop of wine most minutes and tends to know slightly more about what he’s drinking than the people who made it.
He will pontificate at length on many things including wine, art, cycles, mountains, Middlesbrough, Ridley Scott (who was also from Middlesbrough). Now in his 8th year at Grog.
A tactical drinker (she likes to plan her drinking out loud) with a taste for all the finer things in life but not the bank account to match.
Rumoured to be an excellent cook too... (hint hint). A 6th year grogger
James has re-joined the Grog team after a stint at Valvolla & Crolla. Needless to say he is the man to aim tricky Italian wine questions at from now on..
James used to work in the grog retail shop (Dalkeith Road). Although (relative to the rest of us) still a youngster, he got 100% in his "Level 2" Wine exam (how annoying is that?). The girls say he is very easy on the eye, whatever that means.
