Congratulations also go to AWE member Isabelle Legeron who has become a Master of Wine. Isabelle will be presented with her certificate at the Annual Reception on 4th November 2009.
Isabelle said, “ I am so thrilled and proud to now be an MW! The Institute of Masters of Wine is second to none in the wine world and it is a real privilege to be a part of it.”
Many congratulations go to AWE chairman Richard Bampfield MW, who has become the 2009 European Champagne Ambassador.

The AWE is a UK group of independent, professional wine educators.
Our members run wine courses, wine tastings, seminars and holidays for both trade and consumers.
The AWE membership list is a resource of highly qualified, specialist wine educators not found elsewhere in the UK.
Members come from varied backgrounds with most having experience either in the wine trade, in education or both. Several members are active in the media as wine writers or radio/TV presenters.
Our members hold WSET Diploma or have demonstrated equivalent knowledge in wine (some are Masters of Wine), and all have experience in presenting a range of educational events.
