Summary: Interning as a cellar hand in a winery was a great experience to learn practical skills needed in the wine industry that may not necessarily be taught in class, but would be expected at work. During my time at Mission Estate I found it interesting to learn about how the company reduces their impact on the environment by modifying methods used throughout the winery in everyday operation. Doing so has also given them the opportunity to earn ISO 1400 accreditation. Communication was a skill that was hugely used throughout the internship, especially between cellar hands who are performing the operations that the winemakers are giving instructions for.
