The Rebellious Wine Club - The Rules of Wine

The Rebellious Wine Club is back at Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings on Thursday 12 November, with sommelier Kristina Gladilina leading the session. It's part of an autumn series of tastings held at The Greenhouse, the venue's garden space in Clerkenwell.

The club is run by an exclusively female line-up of industry experts, and the whole thing started from a desire to debunk common wine myths and rules and strip the stuffiness out of tastings. It's pitched at people who know little about wine and want to leave feeling confident enough to navigate a restaurant wine list. The sessions are held at the Bourne & Hollingsworth Buildings in Clerkenwell, with wine to taste and snacks provided by B&H executive chef Matthew Harris.

Kristina Gladilina, who leads this one, is a sommelier who's spent 15 years working from Saint Petersburg to London and was a semi-finalist in the Best Sommelier of the UK 2026 competition. She's also the Head of Wine at Lita Marylebone, so she knows her way around a cellar. The session is at The Greenhouse, 42 Northampton Road, Clerkenwell, London EC1R 0HU, and tickets are £39 per person.
