Stuck Between CMS and WSET?
Here’s How to Choose.
If you’ve dipped into the wine world, you’ve likely come across the Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS) and the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET). But how do they differ?
CMS focuses heavily on service, blind tasting, and practical hospitality skills. Ideal if you're working (or planning to work) in restaurants.
WSET offers a structured, academic approach, focusing on theory, viticulture, tasting technique, and global wine styles — perfect for careers in retail, marketing, distribution, or serious personal enrichment.
Why Choose WSET?
No industry experience required
Great for career-switchers and hobbyists alike
Globally recognized, with a clear learning path from beginner to expert
👉 If you want deep wine knowledge without memorizing how to decant a magnum mid-dinner rush, WSET is for you.
