When Jacob Peu bought his first bottle of wine, a Pinotage from a local supermarket, it tasted like petrol, he says. That was six years ago.

Today, Peu is not only a wine connoisseur, he is also the owner of Jacob's Quest, a new range of wines targeted at those only now getting acquainted with vino. "I've always been curious about wine. I found the bottling most attractive and something about wine and the lifestyle of those who enjoy it made me want to get involved," says the entrepreneur from Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni.
