UKSA and the ASI
The official UK arm of ASI, the UK Sommelier Academy is an independent and non-profit organisation that will focus on providing mentorship and education to all UK based sommeliers and wine professionals.
Our Members
We are a community of UK based wine, F&B and spirits professionals of all fields, career stages, demographics and backgrounds seeking to learn, grow, gain further qualifications and connect with like-minded individuals in the industry.
“The aim of the UKSA will be, on top of organising competitions and the ASI diploma, to gather sommeliers based in UK under an independent and non profitable organisation in order to provide access to development, mentorship and education to all. We are all very excited about the potential and the creativity of the Academy, watch this space!”
