The Taittinger UK Sommelier of the Year

The Tattinger UK Sommelier of the Year is run by the UKSA.

Jointly organised by The Caterer and the UKSA and recognised by the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale, the event is open to professional sommeliers working in the UK.

Widely regarded as the premier accolade in UK wine service, candidates are judged on their wine and drink expertise as well as their ability to deal efficiently and knowledgeably with customers by demonstrating exemplary front-of-house skills.

The winner goes on to have a place in the UK selection for a chance to compete as the UK competitor for the ASI Europe and Africa contest, which this year will be held in Serbia in November 2024

This past November, the 2022 UK Sommelier of the Year winner, Vincenzo Arnese won the UK selection and we will be supporting him as he prepares for the ASI Europe and Africa contest later this year.
