ENROLMENT REQUIREMENTS
The eligibility criteria for applying for Level 1 studies at IWBS is pretty simple – you must successfully convince us of your infectious passion for the product. Formative studies in hospitality are definitely a plus but not indispensable. That aside, proficiency in the English language is a must: wine is art first and science later. We prefer you a poet than someone in a white lab coat.
For Level 2 and 3, successful completion of the previous lower level is required. External candidates who wish to jump a level would be required to sit the relevant exam level before they are accepted to the desired level.
ESSAY TOPICS
For the period of October-December 2009, the suggested essay topics are as follows:
God made water but man made wine: elucidate
Cork or Screw Cap: The closing statement
Cocktails: What Next
Whisky or Vodka: Choice of the times
Growing vine or making wine: the greater genius
Beverage selling strategies for the New Age
