Court of Master Sommeliers

Court of Master Sommeliers

The Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS) is an organisation that was established to encourage improved standards of beverage service, particularly wine, in hotels and restaurants

The first Master Sommeliers examination was held in the United Kingdom in 1969. By April 1977, the Court of Master Sommeliers was established as an international examining body for sommeliers. It was set up under the supervision of the Vintners Company, The Institute of Masters of Wine, The British Hotels & Restaurants Association, The Wine & Spirit Association of Great Britain and The Wholesale Tobacco Trade Association.[1]

Their standards and examinations today are recognized internationally.
