The XIII Sherry Educators course has come to a successful conclusion.
Over the15th, 16th and 17th April, 27 people participated:
restaurateurs, wine educators, sommeliers and wine journalists from all over
Spain.
The title “Formador
Homologado del Vino de Jerez” requires professional candidates who have a high
level of wine knowledge, as in practice they are an extension of the Aula de
Formación del Vino de Jerez, the education side of the Consejo Regulador in
destination markets, and thus ambassadors for Sherry.

An intense
programme on winemaking with seminars, tastings and vineyard and bodega visits
was undertaken to obtain this prestigious title. The course which takes place
twice annually, is regarded as one of the best of its kind.
Two Tio Pepe bottles 2.58 metres high have arrived to greet travellers at
the duty-free in Madrid airport terminal 4 and 4 satellite. The bottles are
made from expanded polystyrene, wood and polyurethane resin and are unmissable.
