We’ll Drink To That: The Future of Women and Tech in the Wine Industry - a podcast by Bonnie D. Graham

The buzz: Although they comprise more 50% of the population, women hold far fewer positions in the wine industry, fewer leadership roles, and fewer ownership roles.

Wine expert and The Wine Bible author Karen MacNeil’s Second Annual Report on Women in the Wine Industry reveals an estimated 10% of winemakers in California are female, 7% in Washington, and 5% in New York. She closed her keynote at the 2019 Wonder Women of Wine (WWOW) inaugural conference with this advice: “My friends, men are not going to fix this. Many of them don’t even think a problem exists. The situation is ours to change, and the time is now. So, move forward unwaveringly and ambitiously…Be supportive of other women…And help create a new terroir of wine feminism.”

We’ll ask Susie Selby at Selby Winery, Sharon Cohn at Breathless Wines, Jane Uttley at Unfiltered Unfined Wines and Karen Maley at Robert Young Estate Winery for their take on “We’ll Drink To That: The Future of Women and Tech in the Wine Industry.”
