The link “Working for the wine industry as a multilinguist” really caught my eye – but maybe that’s just me. No, seriously. That is one area I would love to get into. Haven’t had the opportunity yet, unfortunately.
It’s definitely doable, great specialization! I know some colleagues who enjoy this line of work and all its perks, best of luck to you 🙂
