Master Wine With WSET
Where Wine Enthusiasts Become Experts
Our Vision
At WSET, our vision is to inspire and empower a global community of wine, spirits, and sake enthusiasts through world-class education. We believe that knowledge deepens appreciation, and our mission is to make the world of wine and spirits accessible to everyone—from curious beginners to seasoned professionals.
Through rigorous, structured courses designed by industry experts, we aim to set the standard for excellence in wine and spirits education. Our qualifications open doors to personal enrichment and career advancement, fostering a culture of lifelong learning. We envision a future where every individual can confidently explore, enjoy, and share the stories behind each bottle.
As recognition grew for WSET qualifications we realised there was a demand beyond the UK for quality education in wines and spirits. In 1977 WSET expanded access to qualifications abroad, by launching courses in the Republic of Ireland. And in the same year we launched WSET qualifications across the Atlantic, with the International Wine Education Guild (IWEG) in Ontario, Canada, becoming the first North American provider of WSET qualifications.
By the end of the 1990’s WSET qualifications were available in the UK, Europe, the USA, the Middle East and Asia. In 2007 international students taking WSET exams outnumbered UK students for the first time.
In 2016 we opened our first international office in Hong Kong to serve our growing Asia markets. In 2017 we appointed a dedicated on-territory USA team, with permanent offices opening in Hartford, Connecticut in 2019.
Today WSET qualifications are available in over 70 countries in 15 languages, through a network of 900+ course providers, and students outside the UK represent over 75% of WSET candidates each year.
