SOMMELIERS FROM 14 COUNTRIES AT WSPC TO OBTAIN<\/p>\n
THE LEADING CERTIFICATION IN WINERY AT A GLOBAL LEVEL<\/p>\n
From March 28th to 30th, Athens once again became a magnet for world-class professional Sommeliers. The Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS), the leading Sommelier certification organization internationally, offers the CMS courses and exams (Introductory and Certified Exams) twice a year in collaboration with WSPC \u2013 the leader in wine education in Southeastern Europe and Greece.<\/p>\n
The graduation dinner and the announcement of the results took place on a special evening, in the presence of three Master Sommeliers (MS) \u2013 representatives of the CMS organization, who conducted the program in Athens, as well as Konstantinos Lazarakis Master of Wine (MW) \u2013 President of the WSPC. The successful candidates \u2013 including Greeks \u2013 did not hide their enthusiasm and emotion upon receiving their Diplomas, closing in the best possible way a particularly demanding three-day event.<\/p>\n
A special place in the graduation, as well as in the entire program of hospitality for the CMS representatives and the candidates, was also held by the Greek Branded Wine under the auspices of EDOAO (National Interprofessional Organization of Vine and Wine). Sixteen (16) Greek Winemakers offered selected labels and honored the organizers and participants with their presence during educational dinners, taking advantage of the presence of prestigious personalities in our country and professional sommeliers who hold important positions in top restaurants in Europe.<\/p>\n
Through this synergy of WSPC with the wine industry, the recognition of the Greek Branded Wine is further enhanced among a targeted audience\/potential ambassadors who co-shape trends and drive a significant part of the global wine market and consumption.<\/p>\n
