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 World's Best Sommelier Competition has been in existence since 1969. [2]
