On Monday 14 March 2022, 17 ASI member nations hosted the ‘International ASI Sommelier Diploma’ certification exam, and it is with great pleasure that ASI announces 62 new ASI Diploma graduates!

A total of 86 candidates representing over 20 citizenships took part in the 2022 Diploma exam. 62 were successful, among them : 27 Gold, 25 Silver, 10 Bronze.

Each of these 62 successful sommeliers now have the right to call themselves ASI Sommeliers, and are welcome addition to ASI’s Club de Sommelier.

The 2022 results show a high level of progression in the preparation of the candidates since the ASI Diploma was first implemented. The best scores this year were achieved in Croatia, Estonia, France, Spain and the UK.
