How about Hungary?

Just like globally, in Hungary there are more and more sommeliers, winemakers, wine experts, but the ratio is still not more than 10%. However, if you think of the women working in a winery, there are much more, or to put it in another way, there are hardly any wineries without a female employee in a key position – though not in the top position. Today, when International Women’s Day is celebrated, think of the women whose work is not as spectacular as a bottle of iconic wine, but without there industrious work, their female instincts, their brilliant ideas, your winery would not be as successful as it is.

Daughters to mention

Zsuzsanna Babarczi, daughter of winemaker László Babarczi in Pannonhalma works hard in the family winery and step by step she gathers a massive group of followers for their winery. Katalin Tóth, daughter of Ferenc Tóth in Eger is a serious support with her creativity, just like Ildikó Eszterbauer to János Eszterbauer in Szekszárd, and also Ildikó is the one to participate in community activities in Szekszárd, to create new ideas to market the wines. And we could continue this list for a long time!

Cheers to all ladies!

So today, at dinner, raise your glass to those whose name is not written on the front label, neither on the black, but work hard. Raise your glass to wives, daughters, mothers, secretaries, assistants, office workers, grape pickers!
