About HelenaSips

And what to expect here...

Hello! I’m Helena, a drinks writer, broadcaster and educator by profession but beyond that, I am a curator of all things delicious and sensory.

This Substack is about exploring the Art of Living through the senses, where wine is the starting point but not necessarily the final destination. Come here for resources to build your wine confidence and find curated drinks picks from the retailers but I’ll also be diving into other drinks and related topics such as scent and memory, ritual and the power of plants.

My aim is to show wine in a wider, more meaningful context and highlight those often overlooked, day-to-day sensory details that give life real depth and texture.

Thank you for being here.

Helena Nicklin
