  • Addendum for the CSS Study Guide 2020
    Addendum regarding: The 2020 Certified Specialist of Spirits Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators Note: This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2020 Study Guide as compared to the 2019 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2019 version. Please note that all of the tables concerning top-selling brands of particular classes of spirits have been updated to reflect the most current statistics available. Page 32—the information on EU vodka with PGI status was updated to read as follows: In addition to Poland and Estonia, three other EU countries currently have PGI status for certain styles of vodka; these include Sweden (Svensk Vodka/Swedish Vodka), Finland (Suomalainen Vodka/Finsk Vodka/Vodka of Finland), and Lithuania (Originali lietuviška degtinė/Original Lithuanian Vodka). Page 47—the section under the heading “Gin de Mahón” was revised to include the following: To produce Gin de Mahón, white wine-based spirit is redistilled in wood-fired copper pot stills along with aged juniper berries and other botanicals. Page 50—the section on absinthe was expanded and updated to include the following: In August of 2019, the European Union granted protected geographical indication (PGI) status to Absinthe de Pontarlier, a product of the Doubs Department of France (located in the Alps, along the border between France and Switzerland). Absinthe de Pontarlier PGI may be produced using an unspecified base spirit, but the use of locally-grown wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is mandatory. In addition to wormwood, it must be produced using anise seed; other botanicals are optional.
