Wine Scholar Guild

logoWSGThe Wine Scholar Guild provides wine education for the wines of France, Italy and Spain.

Originally created as the French Wine Society, the organization quickly became the leading provider of French wine study and wine certification programmes internationally. In order to accommodate wine industry requests for equally detailed study programs on Italy and Spain, the French Wine Society reorganized as the Wine Scholar Guild.

It is recommended by Jancis Robinson, alongside WSET, the Court of Master Sommeliers and the Institute of Masters of Wine.

 Courses offered

The French Wine Scholar course was developed and administrated by the French Wine Society with the support of the French Ministry of Agriculture.  Wine students who follow this in-depth curriculum and pass the exam will earn the French Wine Scholar (FWS) post-nominal.

 “The French Wine Scholar is a very serious wine program but fun and very enjoyable to follow. The teaching is superb and the quality of the material brilliant.”- Gerard Basset, MW, MS, Best Sommelier in the World 2010.

Italian Wine Scholar – “an invaluable tool, vital to learning about the world’s most diverse wine country.” – Tim Gaiser, Master Sommelier.
