Recognizing that there was no proper study tool or any other wine class up to our own standards for the material covered in the WSET ® Level 2 Wine textbook, this course was developed and written by a 25-year industry veteran who has worked in several facets of the wine industry: as a retail wine buyer, sommelier, wine director, harvest intern, wine journalist, and wine educator. This class was written to help those who are sitting for the WSET ® Level 2 Wine exam to pass it; it is also an extensive resource for those not in the industry but who are passionate about wine and want to up their game.
Brainscape’s author spent numerous hours poring over the current Level 2 Wine textbook edition and broke down the content into the most convenient and digestible language possible. We then had a Master of Wine proofread the flashcards to refine the content, and now you can benefit from the most comprehensive, clear study solution for the WSET ® Level 2 Wine exam.
This WSET™ Level 2 course contains nearly 800 flashcards that provide an in-depth review of all major subject areas in the world of wine: viticulture, winemaking, and most important grapes across the globe. We’ve streamlined the information in the textbook so you gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of why wines taste the way they do.
