Welcome to my wine blog. My name is Casey and I have been involved in the world of wine for nearly 20 years.
2026 marks the 16 year anniversary of the Travelling Corkscrew Blog – that’s 16 years of having the best excuse to drink wine because ‘it’s all for the blog’!
I love trying new wines, having new wine experiences and learning as I go. I completed my WSET level 2 and 3 in 2011 when I was working in the wine industry. In 2013 I moved professionally into website marketing and have been specialising in this industry since, doing my blog on the side.
By day I run Grand Cru Digital and by night I blog about wine here on Travelling Corkscrew. I absolutely love what I do and I can’t wait to share my love of the wine world with you. Please drop me a line if you have any questions.
Cheers, Casey x

Champagnes you need to know about (Tried & tasted at Taste Champagne 2026)
If there’s one thing I learned at Tyson Stelzer’s Taste Champagne Melbourne 2026, it’s that the champagne landscape is fracturing – but in the best way possible. Basically it means Champagne is no longer a one-size-fits-all drink – it’s becoming deeply diverse, giving wine lovers way more interesting choices! While walking through the tasting room…

9 Wine Fiction Books That Make The Ultimate Drinking Companions
I was never much of a bookworm. That was until I discovered the wonderful world of wine fiction books. Throw in a little bit of romance, action or adventure alongside a bubble bath and glass of wine, and there’s nothing I would much rather do with my relaxation time these days. There are actually quite…

13 of the Best Gifts for Wine Lovers: From Novice to Connoisseur
Christmas is just around the corner. Seeing as I am a wine-geek as you may have already guessed it means I have my fair share of wine products and accessories – some I use and don’t go near again (don’t worry none of those are included here) and some I absolutely love and use over…
