Rebecca Gibb (www.rebeccagibb.com; @rebeccagibb) is an award-winning wine journalist and the author of The Wines of New Zealand. Securing her first editorial role at UK wine trade magazine Harpers after being named UK Young Wine Writer of the Year in 2006, she has since edited several print and online publications. She is currently an editor with international wine publication Vinous, specialising in the wines of New Zealand and the Loire Valley. A history and politics graduate, Rebecca became one of only 382 Masters of Wine in the world in 2015. In a record class of 24 graduates, she was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award and the Bollinger Medal in recognition of outstanding tasting ability. Her final-year research paper delved into the 1911 Champagne riots, and sparked a fascination with the history of wine fraud, which has led to the creation of Vintage Crime.
