Oenologist is more than just the nose and mouth of her company

For more than ten years, Main oenologist of the Hubert J. E. company, Ingrid Vajcziková, has been deciding how the wine of the biggest Slovak sparkling wine producer will taste, in a position western-European winemakers very rarely give to women.

Sme: Sparkling wines from your company have recently succeeded in the Wine and Woman competition in Spain, where a purely female jury evaluated them. What is the representation of women in the wine world?

Ingird Vajcziková (IV): There are more and more of us. I think cooperation with women will be ever more in demand in this branch, because women as consumers have a more sensitive and complex view of wine. We are the part of the population that cooks more. Men cook very well, too, but they do not do it regularly. When you buy ingredients for meals, you think about pairing it with a glass of good wine as a reward for all the work. It is women who decide on which drinks will be served to the family on ordinary days. So women engage in wine production not just as experts, oenologists, and evaluators, but as consumers as well. When men cook and pick wine to go with the meal, they do it in a different way: they go to a wine shop and look for something special.
