Malta based CHI Hotels & Resorts, exclusive operator of the Corinthia Hotels brand Worldwide and of the Wyndham and Ramada Plaza brands in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), has teamed up with one of France's "Grande Marques de Champagne" Taittinger to launch its highly ambitious Corinthia Sommelier signature programme.

Devised by the company's products and services division, led by Shawn Pisani, the Corinthia Sommelier programme is aimed primarily at enhancing a hotel guest's dining experience.

A combination of quality products and services, the programme also provides motivational and educational tools to all CHI hotels and resorts' beverage handling staff.

For Corinthia Sommelier, a combination of training modules, incentives and competitions have been devised by CHI and Taittinger to offer CHI food and beverage teams unsurpassed opportunities for development.

These include tuition from the very basic to the most advanced certifications achievable in the beverage industry, participation in international trade competitions, including the annual Corinthia Sommelier Competition, which will see top sommeliers from around the globe vie for the prestigious title of "Sommelier of the Year", and travel to renowned wine regions for first-hand experience of wine-making processes from vine-growing to the fermentation and bottling of wines and champagnes.
