A team of Zimbabwean sommeliers has won the first Stellenbosch Wine Routes Ubuntu Sommeliers Trophy against their South African counterparts.
The winning team: (L-R) Job Jovo, Joseph Dhafana, Carey-Ann Brown, chairwoman of the Sommeliers Association of Zimbabwe and Tawanda Marume
The competition was held at the Lanzerac wine estate in the Cape wine region on 7 December.
The derby between the two neighbouring countries was organised by Jean Vincent Ridon of the Sommeliers Academy after many other sommelier competitions around the world were cancelled due to the global pandemic.
In addition, the new Sommeliers Association of Zimbabwe needed to choose finalists to represent the nation at any competitions due to be held next year.
