Cristina Mercuri
DipWSET
Cristina Mercuri is a wine educator with over 10 years of experience in the wine sector. Her very first experience with wine dates back to when she was relatively small because her mother made her play with a drop of Moscato d’Asti in a glass of water. Then, she began to appreciate it at an older age and her passion became her job.
She created the Wine club, to teach students at all stages of the journey, from beginners to WSET Diploma Candidates. Already in 2008, she had begun to study wine more seriously. In 2015, she finished the third level of the WSET and started the Diploma Level.
She plucked up the courage, gave up her profession to devote herself only to wine. Especially in the early days, her intention was to devote herself to studying. Currently, Cristina is a Masters of Wine candidate, furthering her knowledge and expertise in the field.
