WSET STUDY GRIDS2019-01-06T21:09:59+00:00

WHY GRIDS?

A better way to compare and contrast within a specific region.

During my time studying for the WSET Diploma program Stacy Breuers, a 2nd year MW student and our France, Italy and Australia teacher, recommended making Grids.  This is how she studied the differences between regions and then comparing each small sub-zone within the region.  I cannot stress enough the importance of making these yourself.  I’ve used WSET Powerpoints, The Oxford Companion of Wine, The World Atlas of Wine, numerous websites and podcasts.

Wine education is all about paying it forward and handing it down.  Feel free to right click and save.

I also want to point out the great work over at Drunk.com.  In particular, it contains online versions of all of the lists found in the WSET Units 3, 5 and 6 Study Guides that direct students to entries in the Oxford Companion to Wine. These lists of terms link through to the online version of the OCW found on jancisrobinson.com which are of very little use without a subscription to Purple Pages.
