About Me

I’m Anna Spooner. I’m a Stage 2 Master of Wine student, holder of the WSET Diploma and certified WSET educator with nearly 10 years of experience in the drinks business.

I have a worked in wine journalism, communications and education, for big wine brands, for magazines and newspapers such as The Financial Times Weekend Magazine, GQ and The Evening Standard. I’ve taught wine education at various levels at West London Wine School and, most recently, The Wine Society.

In 2022 I was runner up of the Jancis Robinson Writing Competition and I was also runner up for the IWSC Emerging Talent in Wine Communication in both 2022 and 2023. I created the online wine events programme at The Wine Society where I won them the Decanter Virtual Wine Experience Award in 2021 and again in 2022.

I currently live in the Southern Rhône where I host private wine tastings alongside my online wine events, education and writing.
