James Graham
I have been a professional journalist since the 1980s. I started on weekly newspapers in the English Midlands - working intially on one of the oldest newspapers in the world. I moved to its sister daily newspaper.
After marriage in 1991, my wife and I moved to London, where I tried to develop a career in the media. This was a difficult time for the British economy and it was a while before I was able to re-start my career. I joined a freight newspaper and then moved to a second freight newspaper.
After a decade in the transport media, I decided to switch my coverage to the wine and spirit industry. I now write mainly for wine and spirits magazines in Europe, the US and UK. I also work for a wine industry website - www.thedrinksreport.com.
I am married (still to the same woman!) and have five children. I live very happily in South London.
