About Stuart Walton
Stuart Walton writes on wine for BBC magazines, WINE Magazine and The European. His interest in the subject began when he co-founded a tasting circle at home and went on to pass the Wine and Spirit Education Trust examinations. Having travelled extensively in many viticultural regions, he views developments in the modern wine world with a sharply critical eye and, in order to preserve his independence of judgement, has no commercial interest in the wine trade.
