Whatever you are doing at the moment, the chances are Tim Wildman MW is somewhere filming super geeky content for Master of Wine students as part of his WineTutor.tv channel. Here he talks to Richard Siddle about what he has been able to do in lockdown and how WineTutor.tv has really come into its own at this time.

More people have been into space than become Masters of Wine. With freer than 400 MWs in the world and a pass rate of around ten percent, the exam is one of the toughest in the world of wine. Those who get over the line have two things in common; tenacity and problem solving abilities. The main challenge, apart from the difficulty of the exams themselves, is that the program is self-study. This was one of the reasons Tim Wildman MW launched WineTutor.tv, an online resource to provide students with a road map for their journey and to share the techniques that helped him pass.

It’s no secret as to how difficult the process to become a MW is, applicants are required to sit an entry exam, which comprises a Theory (essay) and Practical (tasting) element. With so much to take care of, it can be difficult to stay on top of things, but that’s where WineTutor.tv founder Tim Wildman MW comes in. Since the site’s launch in September 2015 WineTutor.tv has already attracted an impressive global audience of almost 1500 registered viewers – including over 90% of the world’s MW student population.

Tim Wildman MW has set up WineTutor.tv to give wine education students the know-how, the practical support and the inside line on how to get through the Master of Wine programme.

WineTutor.tv is invaluable as a first-hand insight into how to approach the Master of Wine qualification and is a worthwhile addition to the arsenal of resources that every student must acquire.
