Christine Allen

Christine really owes her love of wine to her Grandfather, having spent many summers drinking through his well stocked cellar in Germany, and as such developing a love for Riesling. Having graduated with a Masters in War Studies, Christine started her career in the whisky industry in Scotland before the temptation to join the wine industry became too much. After five years working across Marketing and Buying with another importer in the UK, Christine joined the team in September 2014 as Brand Manager. Now Marketing Director, Christine currently manages Delas Fréres, Domaine Faiveley, Domaine Billaud-Simon, Marqués de Murrieta, Pazo Barrantes and Rapaura Springs as well as steering her team of Brand Managers. A self confessed wine geek and lover of all things Spain, Christine has worked vintages in Rioja and Calatayud and holds her Diploma in Wine and Spirits, passed with Distinction. Christine was awarded the Wines of Great Britian Prize for outstanding achievement in the Global Business of Wine exams while studying for her diploma. Outside of the workplace, Christine makes everyone jealous with her globetrotting in search of the next culinary feast, playing tennis, reading and finding some zen through yoga.
