Youngest woman ever to become a master sommelier
“It's (wine is) for the people, not reserved for the elite, it's the opposite. It's fermented grape juice,” Alpana Singh said.

Okay, am I just missing something here? This thread's title and the opening line of the story is all about this woman who is the Youngest Woman Ever to be a master sommelier but how-the-bloody-heck-old is she???????

Very badly written article (and no offense against you Don Giovanni; we appreciate the link!) to insinuate such an important fact while not offering the information.

But, for the record, she passed the test at the age of 21.

I guess her age would excuse her sophomoric quote about wine being "fermented grape juice" for the masses!

Sheeeesh!

She is young...they did not tell you how young...at 21 you are first under the law be allowed to taste wine legally...the omission was to protect her from drinking under age...self evident...if she is 21...any who she will bring a new market to drink wine...the young, bold and innocent...got to love that...go girl...

Maybe I read the article wrong but if she was born in 1976 would she not be 31? Still a great skill set to pass the exams at any age.
