Christina holds an MPhil and DPhil in Philosophy. Her later training took place closer to the ground: professional qualifications in investment management and the WSET Level 3 in wine, and she is a member of the American Association of Wine Economists. And because it is important to understand every side of the bottle, she has worked in wineries in South Africa, Greece, and France.
She is the author of Art in Vineyards: Cultivating Culture (Skira, 2026), the first book to document the art vineyard across more than thirty estates worldwide, and Aesthetic Dining: The Art Restaurant Around the World (ACC, 2021), the first study of restaurant art collections through history. She has written the wine column for Apollo since 2022, with further writing for The Art Newspaper, Sotheby's, Tim Atkin MW, and VinePair.
Her outlook is international, shaped by life in three countries. After leadership roles in higher education and venture capital, taking academic research to market, she now advises private clients and family offices across hospitality, ventures, and investment, work that now runs through Oinosophy.
A patron and advocate for arts and culture, she is an ambassador for RIBA's House of Architecture project, a member of the Design Museum fundraising committee, and a trustee of the Sovereign Art Foundation. Her current campaign seeks recognition for restaurants as cultural spaces, beginning with London.
