How extensive is your wine knowledge?
"I would rate my knowledge in the wine industry as beginner level. I do have a keen interest in wine and would love to take additional training in this area."
"My wine knowledge is strong, and I am confident in my ability to help your customers choose wines that pair very well with their choices from the menu. I hold a WSET Level 3 Award in Wine Service and am preparing for Level 4 at the moment."
If you are a wine connoisseur, excellent! If not, that's okay too, but you should express your interest in educating yourself in the wine realm. You don't need to be a professional sommelier; however, if you are applying for a role in a fine dining environment, you should have some wine-related education.
"I consider myself an intermediate level wine connoisseur. In my career, I have visited many wineries and met with many wine reps. I have a strong understanding of the industry and am confident in my ability to choose excellent pairings for your menu items."
