Today, after 2 years of intense study, the
Masters of Wine final exam comprises four-3 hour sessions of questioning
on-viticulture, winemaking, wine business and relevant issues confronting the
wine business. Part two involves three blind tastings of 12 flights of wines
each followed with a written paper on all elements of each of the wines.
Finally a 10,000 word dissertation must be delivered and defended before a
board.
You will find Masters of Wine to be
involved in such areas as wine education, wine imports, and food industry and
winery companies.
The second title of professional status in
wine is that of Master Sommelier awarded from The Court of Master Sommeliers.
The Court of Master Sommeliers was established in 1969 in the UK to encourage
improved standards of beverage knowledge and service in hotels and restaurants.
Today there are approximately 200 individuals who have earned The Court of Master
Sommeliers title, a process that can take 5 years of formal course work and
practical service industry experience to complete. Actual course work can be
accomplished in a couple of years.
