Pippa Middleton, sister of the Duchess of
Cambridge and aunt to the future King, is contemplating taking on the
Master of Wine qualification.
The Royal in-law revealed that she sees herself as “a bit of a wine expert now,” having recently completed her Wine and Sprits Education Trust advanced wine exam.
She said, “[I] am contemplating taking a full diploma, described on
the WSET website as the stepping-stone to the Master of Wine
qualification.”
“From party planner to sommelier – now that’s what I’d call career progression,” she said, writing in The Spectator.
Candidly, she said that she sees herself having a role at the
magazine – which runs a popular wine club – if she was to complete her
education. She said, “I hear The Spectator has a very good wine club. Maybe I should sign up with a view to taking over.”
The announcement featured in a column that also touched on topics as
varied as her taking up salmon fishing – with all of the “wonderful
names we give these little fish lures” – to Kim Kardashian’s backside:
“I must say that mine – though it has enjoyed fleeting fame – is not
comparable”.
On passing her WSET advanced wine course, she said “I spent lots of
time swotting up – quaffing, essentially, but with pen and paper to hand
– and hanging out in an excellent little wine shop near my office
called The Sampler.
“I tried to sneak in when no paps were about; it might have been a
bit embarrassing if I’d been photographed repeatedly entering an
upmarket offy [off-licence] for several afternoons running,” she said.
