The Editor
Hi,
I’m Nessa and I have been interested in wine ever since I worked picking grapes in Australia while on a working holiday after university.
I went on my first wine tour a few years later in Chianti in Italy. It was as enchanting and romantic as it sounds; however, I spent the rest of my trip travelling all around Italy with bottles of Chianti rattling around in (and weighing down) my backpack!
Wine Qualifications
It wasn’t long before I started studying wine, and I am now WSET Level 3 Certified with Merit.
WSET is the acronym for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. Their wine courses are globally recognised qualifications.
The WSET Level 3 Award in Wines is “An advanced level qualification for professionals working in the wine industry,” according to the WSET website.
I am also Champagne MOOC certified with Merit.
Champagne MOOC is the official educational course designed and run by the Comité Champagne and taught by Jérémy Cukierman, Master of Wine.
The Comité Champagne is the joint trade association for the Champagne industry.
It defends the joint interests of Champagne’s houses and growers and contributes to the balance and outreach of the whole of the Champagne industry and its designation.
Other qualifications
I also have over 15 years’ experience as an editor.
During that time, I’ve worked editing all kinds of content from editing Lifestyle content for a national news website to editing educational and technical content for multinationals.
I invite you to join me as I continue to appreciate and learn more about wine.
