How can I become a sommelier? Detail point

First of all, we must have a high enthusiasm for this industry. Personally, I think that no matter what you do, you must have a love, so that you can do your work well and accurately. Work experience-a sommelier is a full-time person who recommends drinks for guests in high-end western restaurants. Please note that it is "drinks", not just wine, which requires a sommelier to have a comprehensive understanding of all drinks. I'm a bartender myself, so it's easier to be a sommelier. Eight years of experience in bartending laid a solid foundation for me to be a sommelier in the future. Moreover, although we are tasters, it is also important to know about food. If you know a lot about wine but know nothing about food, you can only be a wine taster, not a sommelier. Moreover, every chef's style is different, and chefs in different countries have different styles, which is why I applied for a kitchen internship as soon as I arrived at the restaurant. Only by fully understanding the food and drinks in the restaurant where you work can customers be more satisfied in the process of serving wine. When the hotel recruits sommeliers, it will consider whether you have hotel working background, so I want to say to friends who are interested in becoming sommeliers: first find an international five-star hotel western restaurant to see if you can adapt to hotel life. It's best to start at the grassroots level. Although sommelier is a scarce gold occupation, it may not be suitable for everyone. Language-because I work in a high-end western restaurant and I am also an international five-star Perkin hotel. So the guests who come into contact here come from all over the world, which requires the sommelier to have a good knowledge of English. If you can master one more second language (French, Italian. . . ) will be more helpful to work. The chef of my restaurant is from Lyon, France, and he is a Michelin star. I was lucky enough to ask him about French pronunciation. And the manager of our restaurant is Italian, so I can ask him the pronunciation of Italian. So it goes without saying that it will help me. Certificate-The sommelier industry has some independent organizations in many parts of the world, but these are small groups with their own geographical restrictions. Today, ISG International Sommelier College is the most authoritative college in the world. Relevant information can be found on different websites. In the process of recruitment, hotels have strict requirements for certificates. But then again, if you only have a certificate and no hotel work experience, it is still useless. The two complement each other. Work attitude-A special feature of the hotel industry is that we are very busy when others are resting, and there are many uncertainties. Therefore, there is often overtime. At the manager level, the working hours are longer and there is no smell of overtime. Moreover, dealing with people is the most difficult art, especially for guests. In a popular saying, when the Woods are big, there are all kinds of birds. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a good working attitude and a healthy and correct attitude. In short, we should have patience, perseverance, enthusiasm, strong ability to resist pressure, good team spirit, flexible way of doing things, quick response, excellent communication skills and so on. . . . . . More, let everyone experience it slowly in the process of work.
