The aim of the mentoring scheme is to encourage the UK wine production industry to benefit from the expertise and guidance of top consultants in order to support its development and its ability to compete in the national and international marketplace.
The mentoring scheme currently covers:

1. Grapegrowing and vineyard management
2. Still wine production
3. Sparkling wine production
4. Business management and marketing
5. Sustainable wine production

Although the main end beneficiary of the mentoring scheme is the UK wine production industry as a whole, it is not practical to offer this service to every wine producer in the UK. Mentors focus on as wide a range of producers in as many wine-producing regions of the UK as is practicable within the constraints of the scheme.

By consulting to a range of UK wine producers, the mentors are able to generate general biannual reports for the whole industry, relating their findings (with participating wine producers remaining anonymous). Their reports are available here.
