I am a Danish wine writer and photographer, based between London and France.

I am co-founder and Head of Content of LITTLEWINE. We aim to bring wine lovers and professionals closer to the makers and farmers behind the bottle via a mobile application which is currently in development.

I write mainly for LITTLEWINE’s E-Zine, and my writing has also been published in Decanter, Lonely Planet, The-Buyer, Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Guide to Wine (2025 edition; coming soon), Sprudge Wine & more.

I’m also a speaker on wine for both consumer and trade audiences, specialising in environmental aspects of wine and viticulture. Clients include Beaujolais, Chablis, Austrian Wine, The Real Wine Fair, The New Old World Wine Fair, Vin de France, Côtes du Rhône and Bibendum.

I was runner-up in Jancis Robinson’s wine writing competition (2021).

"Christina Rasmussen is one of a new generation of writers who rejects the old school points-based critics' approach, and instead unearths authentic wines with stories to tell."

- Dr Jamie Goode

 

I’m also a budding winemaker-farmer. When not writing about wine or photographing winemakers, I can be found in a vineyard learning about viticulture, or in a cellar learning how to make wine. I did my first vintage in 2019 in southern and northern California, helping Abe Schoener of the Scholium Project to set up LA River Wine Company, and finding ancient southern California vineyards for both him and Rajat Parr’s Scythian Wine Co. You can find two documentaries made about our journey on SOMM TV.

I made my first wine simultaneously; a Palomino named ‘The Alley’ from own-rooted old vines in Contra Costa County, planted in 1930. It featured on the wine lists of Noble Rot, Sager + Wilde, Evelyn’s Table, The Mulwray, Tehran_Berlin and Newcomer Wines.

In 2020, harvested in Morey-Saint-Denis with Domaine Dujac.

In May 2021, I planted a one-acre vineyard at my sister’s smallholding in Oxfordshire, to a massal selection of Burgundian, Jurassic and Savoyard varieties sourced from the gamechanging nursery, Lilian Bérillon. It had been several years in the making, and a dream come true to be the first person in the UK to work with Lilian’s vine material. It’s early days still, but we’re working according to permaculture and look forward to our (frost-dependent) first vintage in 2025.
