i. Biography
Arne Ronold’s work sits at the point where wine is edited, judged, and taught. As founder and editor of Vinforum and leader of Norsk Vinakademi, he has helped shape how wine is written about, discussed, and assessed, with his Master of Wine credential lending formal weight to that editorial and institutional work.
Coming Up
Early on, jury work at The Nordic Prize placed Arne Ronold inside serious tasting and assessment culture, where judgment is part of the craft itself. That kind of responsibility has remained a thread through his career, carried with steady consistency rather than display. Today, Arne Ronold continues as founder and editor of Vinforum and as leader of Norsk Vinakademi. One role sets the written record, the other sets direction for an institution; together they show a practice built on editorial control, public guidance, and close reading.
Where They Are Now
Today he leads Norsk Vinakademi, bringing that layered background into a role centered on direction and stewardship. He also remains founder and editor of Vinforum, continuing the work of shaping the written record of wine through a publication he created himself. Those two current roles mirror one another: one is institutional, the other editorial, and together they show a career that still balances public guidance with close reading.
