Association de la Sommellerie Internationale
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Association de la Sommellerie Internationale is a nonprofit organization founded in Reims in 1969 to develop and promote the sommelier profession around the world. Every three years since its creation, it holds a competition in an international city and names a person as the best sommelier in the world: the World's Best Sommelier Contest.[1] The ASI will organize the 17th edition of the contest in Paris in 2023.
