Wine and spirits warehouse attendant
It might possibly be the kind of job in the reference. I imagine it would include wines too.

Note from asker:
| Thanks - definitely this idea, but not necessarily a "storeroom" as Phil says. But definitely a helpful answer! Thanks. :-) |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |

: Storeroom. I can't find any dictionary support for this - it usually means a cinema usher, but I suppose stacking shelves is the same idea.
