The wines of the Master of Wine Examination 2019

Yesterday, the Institute of Masters of Wine published the list of wines that were included in the notorious, for its low pass rate, MW exam that ended in June 7. Like last year 160 students sat the theory and practical exams in London, San Francisco and Adelaide over a four day period. They were examined in three 12-wine blind practical papers and five theory papers on the subjects of viticulture; vinification and pre-bottling procedures; handling of wines; the business of wine; and contemporary issues. The practical and theory exams form the second stage of the MW study programme and are regarded as the ultimate examination in wine.
