Scholarship recipient announced at WSET Graduation in London

At Penfolds, we are passionate about supporting bold and curious individuals to learn and thrive with the hope that they help shape the future of the wine industry. 

On Tuesday 23 April, the Penfolds Asia Pacific Scholarship was awarded to Yawei Shen at the WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) Graduation at Guildhall, London.

The scholarship, valued at £3,000, is awarded to the student who achieves the highest score in the WSET Level 4 Diploma of Wine and completes the required exams in the APAC region. Completing her Diploma through ASC Fine Wine, Yawei commented that studying a Diploma was one of her education milestones and will use the scholarship to continue her studies. 

"WSET provides a systematic course including both theory and practice, covering different categories (still, sparkling, fortified, spirit) and most of the principal wine countries and regions in the world. I hope to start my learning with this professional knowledge and keep future study in line with this model."

The inaugural Penfolds Asia Pacific Scholarship in partnership with WSET is part of Penfolds Evermore program, a commitment to making a positive contribution towards a world where future generations can thrive.
