The Evolving ASI Grid: Integrating Sake and Beer with Sören Polonius
Update: 2025-05-19
Description
In this episode A Sommelier’s Insight, the official podcast of the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale, produced in collaboration with ASI Magazine, host Mark DeWolf is joined by Sören Polonius, a leader of sommelier training in his home country of Sweden and around the world. They dive into an exciting evolution in the ASI Guidelines: the official inclusion of sake and beer. Traditionally centered around wine, the ASI Guidelines have served as a benchmark for excellence in beverage knowledge and service, but with the growing global relevance of sake and the renewed prestige of craft and traditional beers, the time has come to broaden the scope. Sören shares the motivation, philosophy, and practical considerations behind this expansion—what it means for sommeliers in training and for those already working in the field.
