February is the month of love, and for me, it’s also the month of bubbles. Sparkling wine has long been associated with celebration, but there’s more to sparkling wine than corks hitting the ceiling and froth spraying forth.

Drinking less is no longer unusual – it’s the norm for many of us, especially at this time of year. Although, I must confess I never do Dry January as my birthday is on 16 January and champagne will always be poured - instead October is my sober month.  As of May 2025, 53% of UK adults reported enjoying a no- or low-alcohol drink in the past 12 months. The no/low market was worth an estimated £380 million at the end of 2024 and is forecast to more than double to £800 millio

South Africa is still a best kept secret in wine.  Some of the most exciting bottles on the shelves come from the Cape and they offer serious value. Two things make the region special for producers - diverse soils and the unique climate which shaped by two oceans, the cool Atlantic and the warm Indian which brings dry heat, fresh air, and intense sunlight. Samantha O’Keefe is a South African winemaker whose story is just remarkable. Sam was raised in San Francisco, where

I was joined by two incredible women in wine: Corinne Seely – winemaker at Exton Park, once Bordeaux’s youngest female winemaker Kirsty Woodgate – fellow wine expert and long-time industry friend Together we delivered my most ambitious tasting yet: 13 wines celebrating trailblazing female winemakers fro

The very FIRST EVER Wing Woman Wine Club! We had our first Wing Woman Wine Club last week and the vibes were electric. Sunshine, stripey tops, glasses in hand. Everyone logged on right on time. Everyone had their cameras on. Blue and white seemed to be the unspoken dress code, and I loved every minute of it. There were 20 people signed up, and 9 brilliant women on the call, which, for a first outing, felt like the perfect number. Intimate, fun, high energy. Someone

Men and women don’t always speak the same language - in life and in wine! One of my favourite wine themes to explore with clients is ‘women in wine’ - where we talk about some of the differences in the way that women and men think about, talk about, choose and consume wine.
