Board

Benjamin

Wine is a vital part of Luxembourgish culture and life, so prolonging that tradition with the SWAZ is his great motivation for coming to Zurich. (Well actually the reason is to study Computer Science at ETH but that’s besides the point)

Helena

For Helena, wine is a perfect blend of science, culture, and curiosity. With a broad taste ranging from bold reds to crisp whites and everything in between, she enjoys exploring the diverse world of wine - just don’t pour her anything sparkling. Her scientific interest carries over from the lab to the glass, as she is currently pursuing her Master's in Chemical- and Bioengineering at ETH.

Jannick

'There is a Student wine club?! That sounds super cool!' That was almost Jannick's reaction when he heard about SWAZ just one month after arriving in Zurich. Curious of learning more about wine - and there is a lot to learn - he went shortly after to his very first wine tasting. He loves the combination of meeting new people in a relaxed atmosphere and learning more about good wine. Besides being reasonable for the finances of SWAZ, he is doing his PhD in Smart Manufacturing at ETH.

Karia

"How are grapes grown and where can I drink the resulting wine?" That were some of the first questions Karia asked herself when she started studying at ETH. The question regarding the grapes was answered during her studies of agricultural sciences and to drink wine, she found the SWAZ. Karia likes red, white and sparkling wine and even likes to try the occasional orange one. She also is enthusiastic about fungi resistant grape varieties.

Rafael

Always busy with work, with different projects and with filling up his free time till there is none. Still, always up for a good and relaxing glass of wine. After attending only one SWAZ tasting he caught fire and became a regular member, just to join the board after another year. Studying physics at ETH on the side.
