T he worry lines of some restaurateurs are likely to diminish somewhat in the near future. Of course, the shortage of skilled workers is still a cause for concern, but there are also plenty of positive rays of hope: twelve students at HBLW Landwied passed the young sommelier exam last week; Balm for some restaurateurs who nibble on the expertise of their employees.
Wine competence in schools
The training, which is also an optional subject, is offered at many tourism schools and educational institutions for economic professions and is a sought-following entry in the CV.
“It’s an additional offer that makes sense. The students benefit in terms of content and also learn a lot on a personal level,” says Andrea Staltner, Head of Department at the HBLW Landwied in Linz. Sophie Aistleitner, one of the graduates, adds: “It’s a cool addition that can be easily combined with work in service. And a basic knowledge of wine never hurts. Both as an employee in gastronomy and privately as a guest.”
The young sommelier training lasts one year, includes the creation of a wine list including calculation and ends with a computer test, a sensory analysis of five wines and a practical part of the test, consisting of drink recommendations and wine service. Tasks that make even established employees despair. This does not apply to Sandra Aschauer, Leonie Ecker, Bianca Schöller, Laura Emeji, Anna Lüdeke, Miriam Pammer, Hanna Scherney, Sophie Aistleitner, Tobias Dickinger, Lorenz Ebner, Paul Flachberger and Elena Strassl. They passed the exam with charm and competence.
“Super performance, it’s fun,” says sommelier Sandra Aigmüller, who sat on the examination board with wine academic Hannes Hackl. It is only to be hoped that the young people will not lose their fun in gastronomy following graduation. “I can definitely imagine working for a few years in the company where I did my internship,” says Aistleitner, looking forward to the future with expectation and optimism.
