The WSET International Department recently attended the Hong Kong International Wine Fair. Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council run by the Hong Kong Government they produced a report in which they mention WSET course. The following extract has been taken from this report:
Strengthen Wine Education
"The basis of any new industry is knowledge, and it is particularly the case for a specialist industry like the international wine trade. With out proper education in different facets of the business, a strong foundation for a new industry and a sustainable base for talent cannot be built.
Wine education creates new career horizons for workers of any education level, and creates a new category of high-value, knowledge-based workers that can offer their services not only in Hong Kong, but also in the Chinese mainland and other Asian Economies. Specialist jobs created as a result of wine education include sommeliers, wine journalists, wine logistics specialists, viniculturists, wine marketers and wine consultants.
In today's market, the most widely accepted professional wine education course is offered by UK's Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET). While there are courses offered by other organizations, WSETs reputation precedes all others."
