Certified and more sophisticated (ish) now - not just your average drinker! I'd like to thank my employer for investing in me and sending me to the WSET course. While it's just an entry-level certificate, I've gained a sea of knowledge about the world of wine. Now I can appreciate a good wine much more and have great context for conversations. Cheers to continuous learning! #WineEducation #ProfessionalDevelopment #AIWroteNotMe

Finally, I completed my course regarding wine on Udemy which provided me with extensive wine knowledge with some quizzes for every chapter. Finally, there is a quote that I got from C.S. Lewis that says, "The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge". #foodandbeverageindustry #wineeducation

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

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.

It’s not just all wine tasting you know. 🤣🍷 Outside of being involved in 4 businesses, a lot of my “spare” time is spent revising more locations, vineyards, terroirs so that I can better specialise on events for clients and widen everyone’s knowledge. Most of my job when I host an event is wine education. From the person who has no prior knowledge of wine or maybe are just starting our exploring wine to those who are regular drinkers, collectors or wine industry professionals. Constant learning is certainly needed and true of the drinks industry and therefore I’m no different. With meetings this week including a bar looking for advice on drinks to stock and a potential wine list creation, to an early run through of our latest innovation - The Sheffield Table to a soon to be announced sponsorship of a football team. Plenty to get my teeth into this week. How is yours mapping out? #keeplearning #constantevaluation #forwardprojections #forwardthought #constantlyimprove #businessevaluations
