Being British born and raised in a working class family, Fuchsia didn’t have the opportunity to experience the wonderful world of wine until her early 20s, so this culture has become something she is extremely passionate about changing, as she strongly believes that wine should be made accessible and welcoming to everyone; promoting diversity and inclusion is at the heart of everything she does. In addition to enjoying studying wine, Fuchsia is also a keen Triathlete, with goals set to soon become an Iron(wo)man.
