About Wendy Narby
Your Wine & Wellness Expert
For over 20 years, I've been a 'flying wine educator' taking the latest news from Bordeaux to both the trade and enthusiastic wine amateurs across Europe, Asia and the USA.
My strapline is "Knowledge increases pleasure". Learning about wine is the opportunity to get behind the product, to the places and the people that make wine so fascinating.
My aim is to help people create a healthy passion for wine. I share this passion through events, tastings, talks and tours, through on-line webinars and courses, and through writing about the things that catch my eye.

A balanced Glass
“My Hair Hurts,” Or, How to Drink like a French Woman
This week we hand the ABG main feature over to Wendy Narby, author of “The Drinking Woman’s Diet - A Liver-Friendly Lifestyle Guide.” In this week’s post Wendy offers her insider tips on living the expat life in France, and how to maintain wellness through eating and drinking as the French do.
The Drinking Woman’s Diet
I don’t do self-help books but when I find my will-power has sunk to an all-time low, my weight ballooned to an all-time high, and that the self-help book which landed on my doormat was written for people who like to drink alcohol (too) frequently and written by a dear friend into the bargain, it’s time to put aside my prejudices.

What Our Students Are Achieving
Course
Abi Hall
I love health and take pride in making good choices for my body and brain… but I love the taste of wine! I felt that two couldn’t be combined until I took part in The drinking woman’s diet. Wow; it’s expanded my knowledge and appreciation of wine and wellness. Now I see that the two are intrinsically linked!
Sophia
I’d got into the habit of 2 or 3 large glasses in the evening and weekends. This course helped me look at my behaviours and choices. There are so many little brilliant steps and hints all of which add up. I am happy to always be on the drinking woman’s diet.
Amelia
“Wendy knows how to look after herself, drink good wine, exercise and have fun, so she is the perfect role model. Listening to her is like having a bestie telling you her ‘tricks of the trade’. She has so many pearls of wisdom. I particularly like her idea of ‘sip, stretch, sigh’..”

How is the course delivered?
All modules are pre-recorded webinars and videos you can watch anytime, anywhere. It’s completely self-paced, so you can revisit lessons as often as you like. Each module ends with a simple KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) summary and action steps you can apply immediately.
What results can I expect?
You’ll finish the course with a healthier, empowered relationship with wine. You’ll know which foods and habits support your body, how to set realistic goals, detox tips and tricks and how to enjoy wine with confidence and without guilt.
What makes this course different?
Most wellness programmes ask you to give things up. Most wine programmes ignore health. This is the first to bring wine and wellness together, blending Wendy’s 30+ years in the French wine world with her passion for balanced living.
I already know a lot about wine, will I still learn something new?
Yes. This isn’t another theory-heavy tasting course. Even seasoned wine lovers discover practical new insights on moderation, daily rituals, and feeling confident about their choices.
What if I'm a beginner?
Perfect. Wendy has taught thousands of wine lovers at every level. Her style is fun, relaxed, and completely approachable, no jargon, no intimidation, just a welcoming way into wine and wellness.
How does this fit into Wendy's wider work?
This course is part of a bigger journey. Wendy is the author of The Drinking Woman’s Diet and Bordeaux Bootcamp, and she leads exclusive Wine & Wellness Retreats in Bordeaux. The course is a natural bridge between the books and the retreats, helping you learn online first, then experience it in person.
Who might this course not be a fit for?
This is not for you if you’re looking for tricks to carry on drinking to excess, if you have a serious problem with alcohol, or if you’re seeking a weight-loss diet. It’s a lifestyle guide for women who want balance, empowerment, and joy, not restriction.
