Principal supporter of the Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW), Constellation Brands, has awarded scholarships to three Master of Wine (MW) students to support their studies. Stage two student, Greg Miller of the US, was joined by stage one students Aurelia Badiur-Anii of Moldova and Kyung eun Aum of the US in receiving the 2024 awards.
Open to stage one and stage two students, the scholarships were granted on the strength of the students’ responses to a series of essay questions. Previously exclusive to North America, 2024 marks the first time one of the awards has been open to students from Europe.
“We are proud to support the next generation of wine leaders through these scholarships,” said Brie Guist, Constellation Brands’ Director of Brand Excellence and Education. “Investing in their education helps strengthen the future of the wine industry and reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation.”
IMW Executive Director Julian Gore-Booth remarked: “We are hugely grateful to Constellation Brands for their generosity and continuing support of MW students. These awards will make a real difference in their journeys towards becoming Masters of Wine. This year’s essay topics challenged students to apply critical thinking to three very current issues, resulting in some truly special entries.”
