IMW unveils six new MWs

Published:  22 February, 2019

The Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW) has announced six new MWs from six different countries.

The new MWs are Edouard Baijot MW (France), Nicholas Jackson MW (USA), Brendan Jansen MW (Australia), Jonas Röjerman MW (Sweden), Harriet Tindal MW (Ireland) and Jonas Tofterup MW (Spain).

The latest batch takes the total number of MWs to 384 based in 30 countries.

The new MWs will be formally welcomed to the IMW at a ceremony in London later this year.

The new members had proven their understanding of “all aspects of wine” by passing the MW examination, recognised worldwide for its rigour and high standards, said the IMW.

The MW examination consists of three stages and culminates in the submission of a final research paper, an in-depth study on a wine-related topic from any area of the sciences, arts, humanities, or social sciences.

In addition to passing the examination, all MWs are required to sign the MW code of conduct, which requires MWs to act with honesty and integrity and to use every opportunity to share their understanding of wine with others, before they are entitled to use the initials MW.

The new MWs will be formally welcomed to the IMW at a ceremony in London later this year.
