Author, Freelance writer, Wine critic, Speaker, Climate Change Researcher
I’ve been a wine critic and author for 30 years, and as it was the changing taste of my favourite wines that brought me to climate change, I founded The Wine and Climate Institute in Oxford (www.twacci.org) in 2016 after having published my first book on wine and climate change in 2014. This blog contains extracts from my UN research, my talks, articles and books, and it is all about wine, climate change, freshwater management, the water and earth sciences, coastal and maritime cultures such as the Vikings and the Saami, Northern issues, Indigenous Knowledge Systems and TEK, etc. Basically, all things Water and anything else that interests me. My greatest hope is to be part of the solution.

The Wine & Climate Change Institute
Founded in 2016, TWACCI is an Oxford-based research institute addressing the impact of climate change on the global wine industry and its use of freshwater. With 25 years of tasting and field experience, Linda’s focus is on freshwater management, rainwater harvesting, and dry farming within the context of Regenerative Agriculture (RA) and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) / Indigenous Knowledge Systems. Recent research projects now include other non-subsistence crop sectors such as cacao, coffee, sugarcane and tobacco.

“Wine and Climate Change: Winemaking in a New World is a seminal work and is especially recommended for professional, academic, and community library Agricultural Studies reference collections in general, and the personal reading lists of wine connoisseurs in particular.”
