Jaclene Liew

Jaclene Liew began her professional career in finance but in 2021, she made a pivot into the wine industry, following her long-standing passion and curiosity for wine.

She has worked both as a freelance WSET Wine Educator and as a wine writer. On top of that, she has founded her own wine importation and distribution company focused on on-trade and private clients.

Jaclene strongly believes in the power of communication and education to inspire a new generation of wine lovers to make deliberate and thoughtful choices by understanding the provenance and “respecting tradition while seeking innovation”. She aims to share as many stories as possible of lesser-known wine regions through her wine writing for lifestyle magazines, hoping to reach a younger and broader audience of new consumers in Asia.

Having discovered a love for wine communication, Jaclene founded Studio Burgundy, Singapore’s first dedicated wine communications agency, in 2024. She says: “I have learned the power of shaping narratives that connect wine to local culture, elevating visibility and relevance while maintaining authenticity”.
