VINE & BUBBLE sat down with Tom Hewson for this special interview. [read the full champagne story]
Tom Hewson is a writer and self-confessed ‘bubblehead’ specialising in a subject he is most passionate about – champagne.
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Tom joined Decanter’s team of expert writers earlier in 2023, where he provides incredibly detailed coverage on champagne and other sparkling wines, as well as special reports for Tim Atkin MW and as a judge for the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards.
His love of words and wine came together in an unconventional way, during COVID, when he gave up his life on the road as a jazz musician and became inspired to start his now acclaimed blog – Six Atmospheres – along with a number of educational and rather entertaining videos on social media.
Tom’s highly-regarded publication ‘English Sparkling Wine 2020’, was released during this time and remains one of the widest independent wine-by-wine surveys for this kind of wine.
Today, Tom continues his career as a musician whilst pursuing his love of the world’s finest bubbles. This year Sarah Underdown spent some time with Tom in Champagne. It was their privilege to sit down with him during harvest 2023 for this interview.
