Beer or wine sommelier training for gastronomy professionals
The world of spirits is almost infinitely large and diverse. In drinks and spirits markets, but especially in the catering sector, the chef de service as well as the service staff, the bartender and the chef are expected to be well versed in the various spirits. This is the only way to provide guests and customers with professional and comprehensive advice. It is therefore very important for professionals in the catering and beverage retail sectors to constantly expand and refresh their knowledge. Sommelier training courses are therefore highly recommended as a way of deepening your knowledge of the world of spirits. Depending on previous knowledge and focus, the various courses build on existing knowledge. Participants in wine courses are introduced to the art of systematic tasting according to international standards (WSET®) and the general handling of wine. They learn about the different grape varieties and growing regions and how to skillfully and tastefully combine food and wine. Courses for advanced somaliers deal in more detail with the individual wine varieties, viticulture and innovative service and advice for guests. They put together the wine offer of a restaurant independently. In addition to wine, beer is increasingly establishing itself as a stylish and characterful drink that is no longer only consumed at village festivals and in pubs, but is also increasingly being served in upscale restaurants. Renowned Swiss brewers produce a diverse and interesting range of beer specialties. Beer sommeliers are familiar with the different types of beer, know about the contents and the brewing process of beer and advise customers and guests comprehensively and professionally. Sommelier training is therefore no longer limited to the subject of wine, but is also offered by renowned gastronomy schools on the subject of beer.
