As a proud member of the Association de la Sommellerie Internationale (ASI), the Danish Sommelier Association has decided to contribute 6 euros per member to support ASI following a cyber attack that diverted funds from the organisation.

This donation helps ASI continue its mission to support sommeliers through education, training, and international competitions. Upcoming key events include:

  • Best Sommelier of the World, Portugal, October 2026

  • Bootcamp Americas, 2026

“We stand with our international colleagues,” says Tim Vollerslev “ASI plays a vital role in developing the next generation of sommeliers. We hope to be an inspiration to other ASI-member countries, to also support ASI continues work.”

How to support

  • Donate via ASI’s secure GoFundMe

  • Share the campaign with your network and partners

Together we can help ASI recover and keep building the future of our profession.
