  • The WSET Level 2 Walkthrough - Part One
    In this video series I take a detailed look at WSET Level 2
    This video is all about Learning Outcome One - Understanding the environmental influences and grape-growing options in the
    vineyard and how these will impact the style and quality of wine.
    The WSET Level 2 Award in Wines is intended for people who have little or no prior knowledge. It is suitable wherever a good level of wine knowledge is required to underpin job skills and competencies, for example in the customer service and sales functions of hospitality, retailing and
    wholesaling industries. It is also useful for those who have a general interest in wine and wish to broaden their knowledge.
    Successful candidates will be able to describe and compare the styles of wines produced from internationally and regionally important grape varieties, interpret wine labels from the main wine producing regions of the world and give basic guidance on appropriate selection and service, as
    well as understand the principles of wine tasting and evaluation.

    Hello there, Thank you for your videos, they helped me passed the WSET Level 2 with distinction at 86% of correct answers. I emailed the person who provided me with the results, requesting to know what questions I missed, and he said that the UK office don't allow to provide that information. I told them that they should be able to provide that information, in order for us to learn more and improve our knowledge by knowing what we missed. Any body here feel that this academies are already going through untrusted feeling of their reputations and when they denied easy information like that, they become not reliable like what happened to the MS of Sommeliers? I think they should provide the information to be trust, your thoughts, anyone????

    I highly recommend that if you have not taken the WSET level 1 certification that you do that first. While you have the option to skip it and go straight to level 2. When I took level 1, online of course, it was created for people who nothing about wine at all. I learned the basics of how grapes grow, how to taste acid and sugar, how to taste tannins, the basic characteristics of common black and white grapes and the very basics of regions (ex: Châteauneuf-du-Pape are red wines with high alcohol, Cava is from Spain etc). I did two wine tasting zia zoom using the WSET level 1 SAT which teaches you to figure out what aromas , the level of sweetness, the level of acid and flavors you get from a wine. Then I learned about food pairings , how to store wine (wish they had included a suggestion guide on what temperature to keep the wine for aging), and how to serve wine.

    All plants need oxygen for cellular respiration, so technically vines need oxygen as well as CO2. Great video nonetheless, you should be hired by WSET to write their questions 😂. Although I must say, my WSET2 exam had a few trickier ones than this 🙂
