Victoria Mason is a wine buyer with diverse wine buying experience in the UK market, specialising in South Africa and Italy. Victoria became a Master of Wine in August 2024, winning a trio of prizes including the Quinta do Noval Award for the best research paper by a new MW, with her investigation into the enablers and barriers to regenerative viticulture in Stellenbosch. She loves words as much as she loves vines and wine and is finally finding the time to combine the three, contributing as a wine writer to various publications, alongside her day job at The Wine Society.
