Exploring Artisan Wines, Sustainability & Female Winemakers with Rebecca Hewes

In this fascinating episode of Elevate with Consider it Done, Sue Reeve is joined by the rather brilliant Rebecca Hewes  - a wine expert, entrepreneur, and founder of Handpicked Wine Box.

With more than 25 years in the wine trade, Rebecca’s career has taken her from pub management to international winemaking and high-level wine merchandising.

During COVID, she began curating bespoke wine cases for friends, first with themed selections such as Pinot Grigio Alternatives” and then evolving her ideas into a thriving business built on curiosity, artisanship, and quality. With a passion to share her personal love of wine at the heart of it.

Today, Handpicked Wine Box stands out for its meticulous product research, locally curated, environmentally conscious packaging options, and thoughtful finishing touches such as handwritten cards and beautifully branded corporate gifts.
