Philosophy
A bird does not sing because it has the answer - it sings because it has a song
Having a working knowledge of most of the world's wine regions, major wine markets and more than 25 years experience working from cepage to cork to consumer, WINE SANS FRONTIERES is ideally positioned to give direction to producers and buyers while providing concepts from refined to revolutionary, traditional to technical.
By working closely with vineyards, wineries and winemakers, WINE SANS FRONTIERES develops not only exciting and unique marketing concepts but also increases value by refining wine direction most appropriate for the target market coupled with the added values of complete quality assurance.
"Overall though I find that one of my strengths is in close working relationships with all suppliers at a ground level and see that is a critical point towards the successes that I have obtained in building market share and export volume for supplier and customer base."
WINE SANS FRONTIERES is all about securing the values of production, highlighting a catalyst and delivering a brilliant, totally finished product within desired time frames.
With a firm belief that many countries have not made their best wines yet John Weeks is on a mission to bring the best out of each style and make it accessible to the consumer.
