The never-ending study of wine, brought to you by Claire Sorine

Claire Sorine #1.1

"When it comes to wine, I appreciate the ingredient of time, both in the wine making process as in social aspects.”

For wine expert Claire Sorine, wine runs in the family — extending far beyond the dinner table. Her brother, father and grandfather are all winemakers in the heart of Burgundy, so right after her baccalaureate, she started to study wine, oenology and viticulture to expand her knowledge and develop her inherited passion. A forever student of her passion, she worked at seven different winemakers from the age of 18 — learning anything and everything about the world of wine, with a specialization in wines originating from Burgundy Champagne and the Rhône valley. The best experts stay humble, so Claire would actually not identify as such; there are too many wines in the world, and she states it is impossible to know everything, every appellation, every vintage. At Catawiki, Claire enjoys deepening her knowledge and discovering new gems. With her full spectrum knowledge from production to marketing, sales and events, her aim is to create true win-win exchanges between buyers and sellers. Besides wine, she has a personal passion for all things whisky, too.
