Through its members and activities, the Institute promotes excellence, interaction and learning, across all sectors of the global wine community.
As part of its annual calendar of outreach events, the Institute organizes workshops and master classes to introduce its study programme and examination through showcasing participants the MW approach to wine tasting and theory topics.
