Moët UK Sommelier of the Year 2016

27 May 2016

Welcome to The Caterer's celebration of the 2016 Moët UK Sommelier of the Year competition

The Moët UK Sommelier of the Year competition is the ultimate benchmark of a sommelier's skills and knowledge. No wonder, then, that its list of past winners reads as a roll-call of the country's greatest exponents of wine service.

As you'll see in the articles below, the finalists are put through a gruelling series of tasks designed to test their palate, wine knowledge and appreciation, communication and service skills, and their ability to perform under pressure. It's this exacting blend of exercises that makes winning the competition such a massive achievement.

Terry now takes his place among the UK's greatest sommeliers. His success makes him an exemplar, someone whose achievements other sommeliers can aspire to.

I'd like to offer my thanks to the Academy of Food & Wine Service, The Caterer, MoÁ«t & Chandon and all our other sponsors for supporting this important competition.

We look forward to receiving your nominations for the 2017 MoÁ«t UK Sommelier of the Year competition.
