Study Programme Wines 2015-2016
The Institute of Masters of Wine would like to thank all those who generously supplied wines to the 2015-16 Study Programme. The wines were featured at over 30 Course Days in London and at five residential Seminars in Adelaide (Australia), San Francisco (USA), Rust (Austria), Bordeaux (France) and Berkshire (UK).
Both the Course Days and Seminars were attended by MW students from 35 countries, and by over 60 Masters of Wine. The wines were used for practical tastings and mock exams which guide students’ preparation for both the Stage 1 Assessment and the MW Examination. In June this year a record number of students sat the MW Examination and over 85 students took the Stage 1 Assessment in London, San Francisco and Sydney. Students who took the Stage 1 Assessment will find out on Monday (18 July 2016) if they have been successful in progressing to the next stage of the Study Programme. There are over 320 students from around the world on the Study Programme, which is open for applications until Friday 22 July 2016.
The supply of the below wines for the Study Programme ensures the Institute can continue to offer a rounded experience to students on their journey to becoming a Master of Wine.
