Lots of studying and tasting! There are only 170 worldwide that are certified. You can go to The Court of Master Sommeliers site www.mastersommeliers.org for more info. However, I pasted the overview in this answer from their website - "The Court of Master Sommeliers was established to encourage improved standards of beverage knowledge and service in hotels and restaurants. Education was then, and remains today, the Court's charter. The first successful Master Sommelier examination was held in the United Kingdom in 1969. By April 1977, the Court of Master Sommeliers was established as the premier international examining body."
