Champagne service requires controlled pouring and engaging with the Judge\, who acts as a diner. Contestants also respond to questions on complex menu elements\, wine pairings (offering both Old and New World suggestions)\, and topics like grape varieties\, vintages\, and regions. Blind spirit identification is also part of the service. \nThe blind tasting segment involves assessing six wines based on sight\, smell\, and taste to identify their color\, age\, alcohol content\, origin\, and appellation. The competition follows the Master Sommelier Advanced Examination format\, with scoring based on deductive reasoning. \nThe competition aims to support and encourage young professionals while raising funds for wine education.
