NewsBytes: Gender Shifts In Wine And HR
1) There’s a new wine fan in town and he’s a man. An article by Bob Sylva in the Sacramento Bee points to the younger generation male’s interest in drinking wine (both for his own pleasure and to, apparently, score a few points with dates). Wine Marketing Council research cited therein includes this fact: The market for vino used to be 60% women and is now a gender split.
2) The UK’s JobsNewswire reports that the human resource field, long considered a women’s realm, is now prioritizing skill over gender quotas. I’d imagine the same might be occurring in the U.S. (anyone out there have such information?).
