The WSET Level 2 Award in Wines is a beginner- to intermediate-level qualification exploring wines that is suitable for industry professionals and wine enthusiasts. This qualification is intended for candidates wishing to learn about a wide range of wines or those seeking to build on the introductory knowledge gained with WSET Level 1 Award in Wines. You’ll gain knowledge on the principal and regionally important grape varieties of the world, the regions in which they are grown, and the styles of wine they produce. Through a combination of tasting and theory, you’ll explore the factors that impact style and quality and learn how to describe these wines with confidence. Upon successful completion, candidates will receive a WSET certificate, lapel pin, and use of the WSET certified logo.
