About the Institute of Cape Wine Masters
In 2003 the Cape Wine and Spirit Education Trust granted the Cape Wine Academy the right to award the Cape Wine Master (CWM) qualification and confer the Cape Wine Master’s title, in collaboration with the Institute of Cape Wine Masters.

The qualification was first instituted in 1984 and the first three CWMs were Duimpie Bayly, Bennie Howard and the late Tony Mossop. Over the last 27 years some 193 candidates have enrolled, of whom 78 (39 men and 39 women) have qualified and 22 are at present studying to become CWMs.
.
The ICWM is an active group of knowledgeable people who are formally qualified, objective and passionate about local and international wine matters.

The Institute runs tastings and other wine events, provides membership services to the members of the ICWMs world-wide, and information and access to specialist advice for the wine industry in general.
