ASI Diploma Examination
2027 Exam on 8th March all over the world
The ASI Sommelier Diploma is reserved for members of the sommelier community who achieve “a high standard of service together with a deep knowledge of world food and wine; of the management of the beverage sector and of the culture of the vine and wine”, transforming their work into art.
Candidates can opt between taking the exam in French, English or Spanish, regardless of whether it is a foreign language or their native tongue. This language requirement, which is only present at the Diploma level, encourages sommeliers to master a language beyond their own.
All ASI associations, whether active members or applicants, can offer their members the ASI Diploma exam.
Minimum level required to graduate for the ASI Diploma:
Bronze: 60% (with 40% minimum for each group of tests)
Silver: 65% (with 45% minimum for each group of tests)
Gold: 75% (with 50% minimum for each group of tests)
A bonus system is now in place, applied to reward candidates who participate in a foreign language, whether French, English or Spanish.
