Inside the World of Wine Certification (Scandals, Myths & Must-Knows!)
Air Date: Wednesday, May 21st, 2025
What does it really take to become a wine expert and do you need a fancy certification to do it? Is it really necessary to have one of these certifications?
In today’s episode, I am breaking down two of the most popular wine certifications, the WSET and the Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS). I’m laying out how each one is structured, the different levels, and what kind of wine roles each one is best for. We’ll talk about the 2018 scandal that rocked the CMS, which resulted in rescinding the Master Sommelier title from every single person who had passed that year. And we will dig into the Institute of Masters of wine, the Society of Wine Educators (SWE), the Wine Scholar Guild, as well as free resources to help you build your wine confidence! So, if you are ready to discover which wine certification path is right for you, without feeling overwhelmed by all the options then this episode is for you!
