Vasiliy Egorovich Tairov (or Vasyl[1] or Vasil;[2] 1859–1938) was a Soviet and Armenian viticulturist and scientist. After studying winemaking in France, he and his cousin Nerses Tairan opened the first brandy factory in Armenia.[3] Tairov founded the Winemaking Bulletin, a journal, in Odessa, Ukraine in 1892.[4] In 1905, he founded what would become the V.Ye. Tairov Institute of Viticulture and Winemaking. It was the first scientific winemaking institution in Odessa.[2][5] A memorial in his honor was erected in Odessa to celebrate his 185th birthday.[6]
