WHAT IS A SOMMELIER?

A sommelier course will help you to become a wine connoisseur. After completing the sommelier course, you will be able to define the liquid part of a menu and make every visit to a restaurant a complete experience.

WHAT ARE THE TASKS OF A SOMMELIER?

As a sommelier, liquids and wines are your job. From beverage selection to procurement – as a wine expert in the restaurant, you recommend corresponding drinks and spoil the guest with your wine service. The wine cellar is your baby – you take care of the order and overview.

WHEN CAN I BECOME A SOMMELIER?

In addition to training or experience in service as Demichef de Rang or Chef de Rang, additional training as a wine sommelier is required. However, experience and tasting wine are even more important to train the palate and to describe and appreciate the difference between wines. The larger the wine list, the more experience is required.

HOW MUCH DOES A SOMMELIER EARN?

The salary of a sommelier depends on various factors such as professional experience, company size and the federal state (different pay scales). Taking these conditions into account, the net sommelier salary is between approx. €2,300 – €3,500 per month. For a junior sommelier or assistant sommelier, the salary is often slightly lower, while a sommelier with a diploma may receive a higher salary.
