Rachael Pogmore brings more than a decade of wine buying and sourcing experience to the London Wine Competition judging panel. Before joining Enotria, she bought wine for a major UK retailer, led the wine category at Amber Beverage Group and oversaw sourcing across 12 markets for Vivino.

At Enotria, Rachael buys wines from the Americas, including Argentina, Chile, the United States and Canada, and helps manage a commercial portfolio of around 100 own-label wines. She is drawn to distinctive terroirs, lesser-known grape varieties and the people and stories behind the wines. Her interests also include emerging regions such as Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Croatia.

Rachael brings a buyer’s perspective to judging: a focus on quality, value and wines that can inspire UK customers
