The WSET® Level 2 Award in Wines course covers international grape varieties and the world’s main wine regions in depth. You will learn about the wine styles made from these varieties, the protection of origin systems and the most important terms found on wine labels.
You will also learn about fortified wines and sparkling wines during the course.
We recommend this high-level course to those working in the wine business as well as those with a greater interest in the subject. Students will enrich both their theoretical and practical knowledge.
