MW Study Programme Wines 2016-2017
28 July 2017
The Institute of Masters of Wine would like to thank all those who generously supplied wines to the 2016-17 MW Study Programme. The wines were featured at over 30 Course Days throughout the academic year 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 40 countries, and by over 80 Masters of Wine. The wines were used for tastings and mock exams which guide students’ preparation for both the Stage 1 Assessment and the MW Examination.
In June this year 150 students sat the MW Examination and over 90 students took the Stage 1 Assessment in London, San Francisco and Sydney. There are over 340 students from around the world on the Study Programme.
The supply of the below wines ensures the Institute can continue to offer the best possible experience to students on their journey to becoming a Master of Wine.
