Websters International
"Following a degree in History and Politics at Warwick University, Rebecca worked for two years at Wrightson & Company, a small independent wine importer based in North Yorkshire whilst also acting as agent for two small Australian wineries, searching out UK distribution. Between February and April 2006 Rebecca worked at Boynton’s, a boutique winery in the Alpine Valleys, Victoria, Australia and then tasted her way round much of South-Eastern Australia before returning to England in August to continue with her WSET Diploma exams. She found out she had won the award whilst in Jerez on a WSET scholarship and will sit the last unit of the diploma this month. She is now looking for wine-writing commissions and hopes this will mark the start of a future in wine writing."
