Job Bank lists sommelier inside its broad food and beverage server group, so these figures cover all servers, not wine specialists alone. The national median is $18.50 an hour, about $38,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The low is $15 and the high is $30 an hour. There is no official figure for sommeliers on their own.
