If you want to be the envy of all your wine-loving friends, check out this amazing seasonal job.
Union Wine Company is hiring someone to drive its mobile wine bar around the country to show off its line of products — including their super-cool wine in a can.
If you get this gig, you’ll steer a tricked-out 1972 Citroën to music fests, outdoor events, store openings and wherever else the company wants to get the word out about the array of wine it sells.
It’s kind of like a Wienermobile for adults.
Once you get to a location, you’ll promote the wines and create a “memorable experience” for the customers you meet.
If this sounds like your dream job, consider this first.
Union Wine says you’ll be on the road anywhere from one to four months at a time.
You’ll work five to six days a week for around 30-40 hours a week, and your workdays will be long and sometimes stressful (though a nice glass of wine once you’re off the clock can take the edge off).
Since this job is seasonal, you’ll only work — and get paid — four to six months out of the year. The rest of the time, you’re on your own.
The job posting lists the pay as “commensurate with experience” but a spokesperson for Union Wine told Thrillist the pay range is $15 to $18 per hour.
The benefits aren’t too shabby either, especially for a seasonal position. You’ll get paid time off, health insurance and access to a 401(k).
