Raising our Glasses Higher. 💜🍷💪

Prevailing and achieving in the wine sector is not akin to walking on a path of rose petals for anyone. #RaiseYourGlassHigher speaks with evidence to a lack of more safe spaces for women. Celebrating International Womens Day is a reminder of an accelerated change needed by all, when it comes to standing up to harmful behaviours and attitudes in society of harassment, sexism and gender bias.

We are reminded, that in this wonderful wine world that we do have visible pioneers, inspiring women that have made their own journeys.

She Gives us Strength

Today, as role models of their own, these do serve as an inspiration for the changes needed to accelerate the advancement of women.
We would like to honor Cyprus own, Yianoulla Ioannidou.

While she may have poured more joy in peoples glasses and peoples hearts of people, more than she will ever know… she stands among us as a reminder of perseverance, challenge of convention, a force of solidarity with grace and unwaivering focus. A great role model that has always inspired us.

Our thanks to Curious Vines – Queena Wong, Effi Tsournava DipWSET and Sophia Longhi as well as the The Buyer for surfacing the very pertinent issues that out sector must confront.
