Raising the Bar: Sommellerie, ASI and the Future of Wine
Room 8 – Press Conferences & Round Tables – Hall 4
About
Free entrance: first come, first seated
ASI - Association de la Sommellerie Internationale is the global non-profit voice of sommellerie, uniting 75 national sommelier associations. We develop the next generation of wine professionals through education, qualifications and high-level contests – including the ASI Bootcamp, once again nominated for the V d’Or awards at Wine Paris 2026.
At Wine Paris, ASI will be on site to connect with producers, regions and partners who want to engage with our international sommelier community – also with a view to the upcoming ASI Contest Best Sommelier of the World 2026 in Lisbon.
Join us for our press conference “Raising the Bar: Sommellerie, ASI and the Future of Wine” (February 10th, 14:30, Room 8, Press Conferences & Round Tables, Hall 4) and meet leading sommeliers like Raimonds Tomsons and Pascaline Lepeltier and ASI representatives as they discuss how sommellerie is shaping the global wine narrative.
The session is an opportunity to understand what ASI does, explore partnership ideas and speak to us directly. See you in Paris or get in touch before: news@asi.info!
