Although the unequal between men and women in the work environment are increasingly studied, there were no research centered on the world of wine in Spain. “It is very important to have this information,” says Laia Arcones, director of the Institute plus women and leadership expert. “The objective data helps reinforce the messages that exemplify the current inequalities,” he insists. “Without them, it seems that it is a sensation of yours, that you are a hysterical,” says Meritxell Falgueras, sommelier, communicator and creator of Women of the wine with the producer Anne-Joséphine Cannan. Without data, it seems that it is a sensation of yours, that you are a hysterical Meritxell Falgueras Sommelier, communicator and promoter of Women of wine about 385 women resident in Spain, between 16 and 65 years of age and who work in the wine sector, were surveyed from September 26 to November 21, 2024 for the study, where it is also concluded that 90% of the participants have witnessed or suffered offensive comments macho at work hours. “They are data similar to those of other professional sectors, although in this case they are situations that are often given in rural areas, and are more invisible,” says Arcones. “I have been told that I have no idea of wine for being a woman, and that if I distingu opportunities. “Mireia Torres has been told that menstruation affects the fermentation of grapes. If that happens to her, what will have to endure those that are not so recognized?” He regrets falgueras. 90% of women have witnessed or suffered offensive comments or macho behaviors. Once institute more women surveyed have also expressed concern about the few conciliation facilities that exist in their field: more than 65% are not satisfied in this regard. “It travels a lot, night tours are performed and that complicates the conciliation, but never talk about the subject,” says the sommelier. And an alarming 41% has suffered harassment, whether verbal, physical or psychological. “I am the daughter of Toni Falgueras and I had to endure inappropriate comments of his friends. I stopped going to wine trips to avoid these situations.” Myths about women and wine “women prefer sweet wines on dry.” “Women choose wine by the label and not for quality.” “Women cannot handle wineries or vineyards because it is too hard work.” “Women do not understand both wine and men.” “Menstruation influences the harvest.” “Men are better winemakers because they have more physical strength for the tasks of the vineyard.” “Women are not so good in the wine tasting because they have a more delicate palate.” Another conclusion of the study is that 74% of the participants have attended events where the representation of women was almost non -existent, while 44% consider that the fact of being a woman has been a professional brake in their sector. “The low presence of women in management positions responds to different factors, such as the lack of referents, conciliation difficulties, affinity biases – which can affect men, for example, when they grant a position or invite events to profiles similar to their own – or the shortage of self -confidence,” says Arcones, who insists that they meet glass roofs from their first promotion. The low presence of women in management positions responds to factors such as conciliation difficulties or affinity biases Laia ArconesDirector of the Institute plus women and an expert in leadership in this line, the investigation indicates that 65% of the women consulted have suffered the syndrome of the impostor, doubting their abilities despite having the necessary experience. For Arcones, fighting the inequality that exists in the sector depends in part of working that self -confidence, “to raise your hand, not to consent, change your mentality and stop understanding motherhood as a moment of resignation. Losing fear of asking for what a wants and visible.” Although, of course, that there is a change is not only in your hands. “Companies must also understand the value of female leadership, to send from empathy, collaboration and flexibility, a type of leadership that is not limited to women and that is a valuable resource that a competitive company cannot allow it to be overlooked.” Regular situations lived by women who are dedicated to the world of wine in the professional context Institute plus women The study also lists proposals for improvement such as female mentoring and leadership programs, stricter equality policies (greater salary transparency to reduce the gender gap and facilities for the reconciliation of work and family life), fees of female representation in associations and executive committees and enhancement of the visibility of women Referents. “Investigations like this give us eyes. Know what the situation is gives the possibility to those who wish to promote equality policies in their companies,” says Arcones.
