From Frontlines to Vineyards: A Veteran's Transition into Winemaking

In this episode of the Civilnet Podcast, host Patrick Elliott speaks with Erik Yeghyan, a combat veteran of the Karabakh war who transitioned to winemaking after his military service. They discuss Yeghyan's experience on the frontlines defending Artsakh and what drove him to return home to work in Armenia's burgeoning wine industry. Elliott and Yeghyan explore how Armenian winemakers are reviving ancient grape varieties and traditions to create world-class wines and boost the country's reputation in the global market.
