Hi, I’m Naomi, a good friend of the Travelling Corkscrew and fellow enjoyer of all wines. I have been teasing the Travelling Corkscrew that I would contribute to the blog and until now, I just hadn’t got around to it. However, it was after a recent wine and food night with friends and a discussion…

Thanks to free online infographic tools like Canva.com – I have now been able to turn some of my blog posts into wine infographics for your viewing pleasure. I already feel a…
