Related tags Sommelier

The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) and the Court of Master Sommeliers Europe (CMS) have joined forces to publish a recommended career path for aspiring sommeliers in the UK.

The path is the first in the UK to clearly outline the steps a would-be sommelier should take to maximise chances of progressing to the top echelons of wine service.

The pathway recommends WSET qualifications alongside on-trade experience as the foundation for completion of the CMS qualifications.

High achievers may also obtain the WSET Diploma and Master of Wine (IMW) qualifications.

Ian Harris, chief executive of the WSET, said: “This partnership is the culmination of prolonged discussions between the WSET and the CMS to clarify for wine service professionals the training options they should access to become the best in the field of Sommelerie.”
