Kateryna Yushchenko, DipWSET
I am a wine judge, educator, and writer working at the intersection of wine, culture, and decision-making.
I co-founded a wine import business in Ukraine in 2009 and, in 2014, founded the Ukrainian Wine & Spirit School, the only WSET Approved Programme Provider in Ukraine, with over 500 alums in more than 15 countries.
I regularly judge at leading international competitions, including the International Wine Challenge, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, Mundus Vini, Concours Général Agricole, Berliner Wein Trophy, and ViniPortugal.
I am also the Wine Director of Be Wine Show since its establishment.
As a Capstone California educator, I collaborate with the California Wine Institute to deliver professional masterclasses on terroir, sustainability, and market realities.
Now based in London, I work internationally across Europe and beyond.
This blog goes beyond tasting notes - focusing on wines that matter and the forces shaping today’s global wine culture.
