STUDY TIPS | PART 4: PRACTICAL SERVICE
[Vietnamese in comment]

- Carefully read our standard of service document and ensure you are confident with all aspects.

- If you’re currently working in a front of house restaurant role, you will already be familiar with many of the practical expectations which are required for Introductory level. Focus on the attention to detail which is required for Introductory and/or Certified levels.

- At an absolute minimum, you will need to be able to carry a tray, open a bottle of wine/ sparkling and have a good general understanding of food and wine matching. You will also need a thorough understanding of the order of service which is required by the Court of Master Sommeliers.

- Mentally prepare a wine list. Have recommendations ready for the practical examination: this should be apéritifs, spirits, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages and sparkling wines.

- If you’re currently working outside of the hospitality industry (or not working in a “front of house” role), we strongly recommend that you gain some practical work experience in a restaurant before attending.

- Don’t forget to familiarise yourself with basic cocktails, spirits, digestives and apéritifs

STUDY TIPS | PART 3: TASTING
[Vietnamese in comment]

- Tasting hundreds (even thousands) of wines a year using the same technique.
- Develop your own classic grape variety flavours and structure understanding.
- Learning the elements of the ‘Grid’ so they are second nature – repetition is key.
- By using always the same progression, this will make you feel more comfortable on the day of the examinations.
- Using blind tasting to increase skill level and perception of the wine in your glass.
- Don’t only do blind tasting. Taste wines made out of the same classic varietal side by side to understand the difference between each country/regions.
- If you have difficulties with ‘New World’ and ‘Old Word’, then spend more time analysing your structural elements (acidity, alcohol, tannins and ripeness…).
- Consistent study to supplement tasting – strong theory and successful tasting are closely connected.
- Use valuable taste references (or markers) leading to logical conclusions.
Increasing overall wine knowledge by tying theory to what you taste.

STUDY TIPS | PART 2: THEORY
[Vietnamese in comment]

- Take a good look at our Syllabus on our website.
- Break the syllabus down into subject areas, then methodically work through each section. When you feel confident with one area, move onto the next.
- Learn and practice a conversation: learn 10 pieces of information that you can recite, focused on: climate, soil types, geography, grape varieties, history, best winemakers, subregions, production methods, training methods and vintage knowledge.
- Concentrate efforts into areas that you find most challenging to understand. Don’t waste time reviewing material you are confident with.
- Try and join a study group in your area or create a study group with friends or work colleagues. At a minimum, find a ‘study buddy’ to support you throughout your preparations.
- Use maps to study wine regions to make it easier to visualise and recall.
- Select a couple of top restaurants then review their wine lists for listings of classic and important producers.
- Flash cards can be helpful, but don’t necessarily work for everyone. Find a technique which works for you. Other options include Memory Palace and Fishbone, amongst others. • Mix up your learning methods with study ‘cross training’. This may be a mix of flash cards, study aids, books, websites: e.g. Luminosity, Anki, Quizlet, maps, audio, visual aids (e.g rocks), photographs and producer profiles.

𝐃𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐒 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 - 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄?
Wine sweetness is often misunderstood 👀
“Dry” doesn’t mean sour, and “sweet” doesn’t mean heavy. It simply describes how much natural grape sugar remains in the wine after fermentation.
Here’s a general way to understand the difference 👇

🍷 Dry Wines
These wines contain little to no residual sugar.
They often taste crisp, structured, and refreshing, with flavors that lean more toward acidity, tannin, or savory notes rather than sweetness.

🍇 Medium Sweet Wines
A gentle sense of sweetness, often coming from ripe fruit rather than sugar itself.
These wines feel rounder and softer on the palate, making them very approachable.

🍯 Sweet Wines
Clearly sweet in taste, with noticeable richness and intensity.
They are usually balanced by acidity or alcohol to keep the wine from feeling cloying

STUDY TIPS | PART 1: GENERAL
[Vietnamese in comment]

- Establish a study schedule. Use a wall calendar to plan over a long period of time.
- Create a set of study notebooks. • Commit to a regular day and time each week when you can find a quiet space to focus.
- Build your support network. This may be with your work colleagues, CMS alumni or industry contacts. Don’t hesitate to talk to those who have attended the course.
- Find balance in your study commitments with your work, personal life and physical exercise. Creating a study plan will help you to achieve this.
- Train under examination conditions so you feel prepared and confident on examination day.
- Stay humble! Demonstrate that you are passionate about your profession.
- Read widely; books, journals & materials which you can cross reference for greater accuracy.
- Concentrate efforts into areas that you find most challenging to understand. Don’t waste time reviewing material you are confident with.
- DON’T print out your learning materials. It is more effective to write out the important points as you will learn more by interpreting the material into your own words.
- Draw your own maps / images and test yourself whilst preparing the materials.
- Don’t just try to memorise the materials you are studying. Try to put the notes into your own words, so that you understand the facts and can recall them easily.
- Prepare materials as if you were going to deliver them to a class and stick to short facts.

WHAT TO EXPECT OVER 2 DAYS OF CLASS AND 1 EXAM DAY
[Vietnamese in comment]

Over the two class days, candidates will work directly with the Master Sommeliers in an intensive classroom setting that combines theory, tasting, and service skills. This is then followed by one examination day, depending on the level entered.

1. Two class days: theory, tasting, and professional skills
During the first two days, the Master Sommeliers will lead a series of seminars focusing on the essential foundations of the sommelier profession, including wine knowledge, service standards, and professional communication skills that can be applied in real-world hospitality settings.
Throughout the program, the Master Sommeliers will also guide students through the CMS Deductive Tasting Model — the Court of Master Sommeliers’ systematic approach to tasting analysis. This method not only helps students develop their sensory awareness but also trains them to build logical reasoning, rather than relying solely on intuition.

2. Examination Day:
The examination structure differs between the Introductory Sommelier Certificate and the Certified Sommelier Examination.
- 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞, candidates must achieve a minimum score of 60% in both the theory and practical sections.
- 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, candidates must achieve a minimum score of 60% in the theory, blind tasting, and practical sections. Importantly, all three sections must be passed within the same examination sitting.

In addition, the theory paper for Certified is set at a higher level than the Introductory examination.
Important Note: Under CMS regulations, all candidates must complete the Introductory Sommelier Certificate before being eligible for the Certified Sommelier Examination
