By Émilie FÉLIX (03) and Ganit HIRSCHBERG (MBA 01),
Delegates of the wine & spirit group

Be passionate!

We had joined Wine & Spirit group to become delegates because we
share the spirit of fellowing and social sharing. But this is also the
essence of wine spirit, isn’t?
Who are we? Émilie FÉLIX, a wine entrepreneur,
founding her own wine school « Clé des vignes »
and Ganit HIRSCHBERG, who after many years
of playing with the idea, has decided to change her
professional path from IT project management to
wine... The future will tell if she had right...
Passion of wine
Ganit joined immediately after the first event; since
arriving to Paris, wine was a subject of curiosity
and passion. The group enabled her to meet wine
lovers like her and wine professionals from whom
she could learn and be inspired.
Émilie joined when her wish to make wine and
gastronomy her professional path, led her to meet
other group co-delegates who, in the friendly spirit
of the group, immediately invited her to join in.
Taste for challenges
Each event that we organize is a best practice,
each is a challenge. We are always trying to create
something that exposes our members to an experience or subject that might intrigue them. Such
are our dinners at the Sénat, a prestigious location
letting a glimpse into a French patrimony, or the
conference dinner about Women in Wine which, in
cooperation with ESCP Europe au féminin, enabled a different view point of the wine sector.
The group has known ups and downs due to different personalities involved in it. We are proud to
state today, that the current co-delegates share
the same generous and ego-free mindset which,
together with passion, availability (even limited) and
common vision, are the key factors to a successful
cooperation. It’s teamwork! Each of us has his own
competences and knowledge as well as availability
and inspirations. The synergy of all those permits
each one to find his/her role in each event. There
are clear benefits of being a co-delegate such as
exposing yourself to people in the sector, experiencing challenges, which you might wish to explore

but don’t always have the opportunity. All these are
beneficial in the short and long term.
However, we both believe, that if one becomes a
co-delegate in order to obtain immediate professional benefits, he might find very quickly that his
place is not in this group. The personal benefits,
yet, are immediate and professional ones are not
to be neglected!
More and more events
Nowadays, we wish to broaden the variety of the
group’s activities from the prestigious to more simple and intimate ones and also more experimental
or pedagogical. We would also like to continue
co-organising events with other groups; either
other ESCP Europe Alumni thematic groups or
other wine clubs from other schools. We know
that this can only generate new interesting challenges and experiences. A new event, that we’ll
experience soon, is a wine fair, co-organised
with other schools. This event will enable us to
direct the spotlight to other Alumni who are wine
producers and launch the creation of a professional community.
