Stage three · Paid
Fellowship
The culminating stage, to full sommelier-level fluency: the wider world of wine, the harder pairings, service in practice, and a final written and tasting examination.
What this stage covers
- The wider world of wine, from Austria to Georgia
- Sweet, fortified, sparkling and skin-contact wines at the table
- Fine wine, the classifications, and the names worth knowing
- Beer, cider, sake, spirits and the no-and-low shelf
- Wine in practice: law, pricing, service and cost
- The final written and tasting examination
How it works
The Coach is question-led. You are shown a real dish-and-wine pairing or a question about it, and you answer; the explanation appears straight after, so you learn the why by doing rather than by reading ahead. The stages are taken in order, building on what you already know.
