PINK Prosecco is currently looking to hire someone for a job taste testing its bubbly rosé drink and there’s even a secondment at an Italian winery included.
Do you know the difference between DOC & the average bottle of bubbly? Does the sound of a bottle popping fill your heart with bubbles?
Then the job of the world’s first Pink Prosecco Tester is probably one you’ll want to take note of.
In what is 140 years in the making, PINK Prosecco will be one of the first rosé Proseccos ever to be sold in the UK following a change to Italian law which approves production, and it is looking for an “official fizz fanatic” to join the team as the ‘PINK Prosecco Tester’.
The successful applicant for the role will become part of international wine history and taste test the new pink fizz before it goes on sale to the public next month. They will be asked to review the brand new blush bubbles, and give a short review in exchange for £300.

What’s more, is that they’ll then also be asked to go on secondment to Treviso, Italy early next year – the capital of Prosecco country – and fly over to the Italian vineyard where the first ever PINK Prosecco is currently being made.
During the Italian secondment, the new PINK Prosecco Tester will stay in Treviso, and explore the vineyards and winery where the Prosecco is made, and they will also have time to take in the serene landscapes that surround the beautiful vineyard, and immerse themselves in every aspect of Italian life.

As part of official duties, they’ll first be involved in the picking and pressing of the 100% pure Glera & Pinot Noir grapes, and then fourteen weeks later, they’ll get the chance to taste the fruits of their labour as the dazzling pink hued Prosecco will be decanted from the tanks.
Of course, there will be plenty of refreshment breaks along the way.
And if all of this wasn’t enough, in addition to this unbelievable opportunity, the PINK Prosecco Tater will also receive a year’s supply of PINK Prosecco too.

Paul Anthony Gidley – CEO of PINK Prosecco – said: “Fizz fans have been wanting to try PINK Prosecco for so long and it’s almost time for the first reveal. We want to make sure it’s pink perfection, and the new PINK Prosecco Tester will not only have the crucial role of tasting the first batch, but will help us to shape the product in the future.”
“Since the Prosecco Council in Italy gave the go-ahead for Prosecco DOC Rosé, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to get the brand, bottle and bubbles just right.
“We hope the successful applicant will agree that PINK Prosecco really does taste as good as it looks, with a fruitier nose than standard Prosecco and hints of summer fruits such as strawberry and blackberry, with fantastic racing bubbles and a light, semi-sweet finish.”
PINK Prosecco
The ideal candidate must be an advocate of ‘Prosecco O’Clock’, be as bubbly as Italy’s fizz, and have a vested interest in learning about the culture and the process behind every bottle of PINK Prosecco produced.
You will need to be over 18 to be eligible and will need to submit up to 250 words on you they think you’re the best candidate for the role.

To be considered for the role, applicants must be available to travel with their chosen guest early next year, for three days of indulging in Italy’s finest region for sparkling wine production, and want to try the eagerly awaited tipple his year before it officially becomes available to everyone else.

Gary Neville ‘may or may not’ be actually joining The Reytons on tour
Danny Jones
In yet another absolutely random moment from the ever-ubiquitous Gary Neville, the former footballer turned businessman looks like he might be joining Yorkshire band The Reytons on their upcoming tour.
Believe it or not, we’re not having you on – not even a little bit.
Yes, as per an announcement from this week, Gary Neville looks set to be heading out on the road with Rotherham’s The Reytons as part of their ‘Right Back At It Tour’ next year.
As if the reveal was random and amusing enough as it is, the unsigned and unapologetic Northerners confirmed the news with a hilarious promotional video that we’ve now watched multiple times in disbelief that this actually looks like it happening.
Comments like that say it all: quality content and a genuinely funny way to unveil an already comical bit of music PR that goes on a long list of G Nev saying yes to pretty much anything. First Dragon’s Den and now a UK tour.
Although the full press release itself opens with the Manchester United legend, pundit and local entrepreneur declaring, “I’m in The Reytons”, it does also caveat this with the disclaimer: “*Gary Neville may or may not be actually joining The Reytons”.
We presume this means that the 49-year-old’s various media commitments and other projects mean there could see him pull out, but until they say otherwise, or the four-piece finds someone else to fill in for bassist Lee Holland and his broken arm, we’re taking this lineup change as read.
Oh yeah, this isn’t a random ‘DJ set’ or a quick repping-type gig to get the crowd warmed up act – by all accounts if this ends up happening he’ll be joining them on stage.
To be honest, we don’t know what to think; however, given that Neville has already played guitar live with The Charlatans and then went on to do a b2b set with Tim Burgess himself at Kendal Calling 2024, this really isn’t that surprising.
Set to play a run of nine gigs including London’s O2 Academy in Brixton, Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom and Aviva Studios – the now permanent home of Factory International – in Manchester on Saturday, 8 March, The Reytons are sure to get a warm reception.
After forming back in 2017 and years at slogging away, record deal or no, the band made it to number one in the Official UK Album Charts with What’s Rock And Roll? last year and played a sold-out hometown date at Clifton Park to 20,000 fans. It’s some journey they’ve gone on.
That one might be sold out but if you want to be in the crowd when the ex-England international and Monday Night Football star walks out on stage with a bass strapped around his neck, you can get ready to grab your tickets for their Manc gig when they go live this Friday (20 September) HERE.
No backing, no label, all Reytons – with a little bit of Gary Neville now too, apparently…
New study reveals the UK’s top 10 ‘most stressful’ jobs
Emily Sergeant
A top 10 list of the most stressful jobs in the UK has been compiled and shared following an interesting new study.
Every job role comes with its fair share of stresses, that we can all agree on.
You could ask pretty much any working person across the country to tell you what makes their job so stressful on a daily basis, and they’d probably be able to reel you off a couple without even having to think too hard about it – but which jobs ask more of their employees than others?
Some jobs certainly come with more than their fair share of challenges compared to others, but what roles and which industries are considered to be the UK’s most stressful? Well, in a bid to find out this answer out once and for all, personal injury injury experts, Claims.co.uk, analysed health and safety executive data from the UK Government.
Researchers looked at the prevalence and rates of self-reported stress, depression, or anxiety that were either caused, or made worse by, their current or most recent job.
And it’s police officers who take the top spot.

With a rate of 6,500 per 100,000 current or former police officers reporting that their job had negatively impacted their mental health, this rate is alarmingly almost two and a half times (242%) higher than the national average.
Approximately 11,000 out of an estimated total of 169,231 police officers reported that their jobs had caused mental health issues or made them even worse, which works out to an estimated 6.5% of the total employees in this role.
Social workers rank second, with a rate of 6,100 per 100,000 social workers currently or formerly employed in social work roles reporting mental health issues caused by their jobs, while third place goes to welfare and housing associate professionals, who have a rate of 5,810 per 100,000 reporting mental health issues from their jobs.

Social workers
Welfare and housing associate professionals
Community nurses
Other nursing professionals
Higher education teaching professionals
Primary education teaching professionals
Secondary education teaching professionals
Human resource managers and directors
National government administrative occupations
Community nurses and other nursing professionals, higher and primary education teachers, and HR managers were just a few of the other stressful jobs making up the top 10.
“The findings bring to light job roles throughout the UK that detrimentally affect the mental health of employees,” a spokesperson for Claims.co.uk commented.
“Police officers, social workers, and welfare and housing associate professionals are notably associated with higher stress levels. Factors such as long hours, high responsibilities, and public-facing roles appear to contribute significantly to an employee’s mental health being negatively impacted.”
The spokesperson added that employers should encourage regular breaks, offer mental health resources, and promote open communication to employees manage their mental health more effectively.
