WSET Level two
Level 2 is a great starting point to establish a solid basic understanding of wines. The main focus of this course is covering classic grape varieties, the styles of still, sparking and fortified wines that they make, regions of the world where they are grown and how climate and geography affects their taste. It will also include how to use the WSET SAT (Systematic Approach To Tasting) to assess and describe wines.
If you understand that wine comes from grapes and can be red, white or rose – and sometimes have bubbles in it – then you will be fine! We assume a very basic knowledge but everything you need to know to pass WSET Level 2 will be taught to you.
