Understanding the quality level of a wine – webinar

Register for free

Join educator Julia Lambeth DipWSET to learn how to use WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting® (SAT) to assess the quality of a wine.

Event details

Tasting is an important part of all WSET courses. Across all our wine qualifications, students are expected to analyse the appearance, nose and palate of the wine in increasingly greater amounts of detail. From Level 2 and above, students are also expected to make a judgement on quality.

This session will look at the different elements involved in deciding on the quality level of a wine, and the common challenges students face in identifying quality. The session is aimed people starting the Level 2 or Level 3 Award in Wines courses or anyone would like to know more about how to evaluate wines.

If you can’t attend live, don’t worry – just register and you’ll be sent the recording of the event.


Who is this session for?

  • Anyone who is currently studying or thinking about studying the WSET Levels 2-3 Awards in Wines
  • Anyone who would like to learn more about how to evaluate wines
