Louis Roederer Emerging Wine Writer of the Year 2010

I’m a British freelance journalist based in both London and New Zealand. I specialise in wine, food, and travel writing. Well-regarded by news and features editors, I can be relied upon to dig up exclusive stories and turn copy around quickly.

I write regularly for Decanter, Harpers Wine and Spirit, Drinks International, Wine Business International, The New Zealand Herald on Sunday, The Market magazine, and Food and Travel Magazine.

In 2010, I was named the Louis Roederer Emerging Wine Writer of the Year having won the UK’s Young Wine Writer of the Year in 2006. I am now one of the youngest Master of Wine students in the world. Working in wine journalism means I travel extensively. I’ve been working hard on my carbon footprint getting to know South America, Australasia and Europe.

Having qualified as a Wine Educator with the Wine and Spirit Education Trust, I also worked at the London Wine Academy in 2009 before moving to New Zealand and now have my own wine school: Rebecca Gibb’s Wine Workshop.

When I’m not working, I can be found mountain biking, snowboarding or doing triathlons.

Thanks for visiting the site and I look forward to hearing from you
