I received a WSET Alumni email earlier today saying that 2024 saw a record number of Wine Diploma graduates. Great news if you ask me. However, there has been a lot of discussion here on LinkedIn lately regarding whether or not the wine business needs more WSET or otherwise wine-educated people. The point emphasized is that there is no lack of wine knowledge in the industry and that what the industry needs is not more educators, but more consumer understanding, more marketing and communication skills. I wholeheartedly agree that it's high time the wine business started taking marketing seriously and even prioritizing it at the same level as the product quality and state-of-the-artedness of the equipment. However, it does not seem right to oppose one over the other. People who come to WSET typically do not do it the first day after leaving secondary school with the idea of becoming wine educators. More often than not you see at any WSET (or other) course people who are professionals already in sales, marketing, and/or management. They come for more knowledge and a personal challenge. In any case, it cannot possibly hurt the industry to have its professionals educated about the subject of the industry. What do you think? #drinks #drinksindustry #wine #winebusiness #wineeducation #wset #dipwset

Embarking on a new adventure with Capstone California Educational Program. Somehow California (and all US wines in general) always made me humble. The market is different, the classification system is confusing, the regulations differ from the EU, the marketing methods are curious Even with the WSET Diploma, I can’t say I know it all. Level 1 is done. Can’t wait for the next one #CaliforniaWines #WineEducation #WineKnowledge #NeverStopLearning
