About MASOM
Today, the responsibilities of modern sommeliers go far beyond merely serving wines. On top of a complete knowledge of their field and an indispensable gift for human relationships, they must also display a considerable understanding of purchase and stocks management. Today’s sommeliers are also associated with the marketing of the business.
While knowledge of wines and spirits can be acquired in specialized schools (such as œnology institutes) and the foundations of the trade in specialized institutions (hotel and restaurant management schools, etc), acquiring actual sommelier experience is a rather informal process, learned by practice throughout one’s career. This situation creates an obvious need for continuous training in the real sense of the word, to help consolidate scattered personal experiences by means of a rational approach, and this is what the Macedonian Sommelier Association provides through its various activities.
