Dom Pérignon, the renowned Champagne House, announced alongside Liquid Icons and the Gérard Basset Foundation the winner of the new Dom Pérignon Golden Vines MW Scholarship, writes Harpers.co.uk. The winning scholar is Arpine Manukyan (pictured), an Armenian wine professional and winemaker, based in Yerevan.
Despite Manukyan’s impressive achievements, such as becoming the first person in Armenia to achieve the WSET Diploma and Weinakademiker qualifications, she has had to face up against “gender-based barriers” which “marginalise women and hinder their professional growth and educational opportunities”.
Eighteen applications were received in 2023 from seven different countries, with applicants comprising 11 different nationalities and more than half of this year's applicants were women. The scholarship will fund Manukyan to undertake the MW Certification.
