Weinakademie Osterreich supports the Russian Wines Competition©.
A few words about those who support the first international wine competition, the Russian Wines Competition©.
The Russian Wines Competition© is supported by the Austrian Wine Academy (Weinakademie Osterreich), the largest wine education centre in mainland Europe.
The Austrian Wine Academy was established in 1991 as a new, efficient training centre for private wine lovers and professionals alike. As a non-profit institution, the Academy endorses the following philosophy: the more a country develops wine knowledge and culture, the more this particular nation is likely to respect and consume high quality wines.
Every year more than 15.000 people participate in more than 800 Wine Academy’s seminars. The Austrian Wine Academy is also – under the auspices of the AWMB – a participant in the pan-European informational programme «Wine in Moderation», which strives to promote responsible interaction with wine.
The Austrian Wine Academy offers a range of different wine courses:
Advanced course – Wines and Spirits - International;
WSET Diploma in Wines and Spirits – Central Europe;
WSET Diploma in Wines and Spirits – International;
WSET Diploma in Wines and Spirits - Rheingau / Burgenland / Alto Adige / Zurich.
WSET Diploma graduates may be awarded the prestigious title of «Weinakademiker». Upon completion of a thesis and a viva-voce exam successful students are requested to sign a code of conduct and join the international alumni association «Club der Weinakademier» with more than 750 graduates from 33 different countries.
The Austrian Wine Academy is located in Rust, in the romantic setting of the old Seehof. A second office is based in the town of Krems in Lower Austria. Overall management responsibility is in the hands of Dr. Josef Schuller MW, Austria's first Master of Wine (MW).
My personal thanks to Dr. Josef Schuller MW for this privilege to be supported by Weinakademie Osterreich.
Sponsors of the competition: Cote Rocheuse JSC; Chateau de Talus.
