I don't know if the questions are 'official' WSET questions but if you phrase a question like "X is blended with Y to add:....", then it's ambiguous whether or not you are 'starting' with Y and 'adding' X or vice-versa.
Thank you for the comment. Questions are not official WSET questions. If you can tell me which particular question you mean, I can explain it.
@@thirstyandwise I understood the reasoning but e.g. Q4: "Syrah can be blended with Grenache to:....". If I start with Grenache and consider adding Syrah, then the answer is "c) add tannin" because as you explain, Syrah is the darker, more tannic grape. But if I were 'starting' with Syrah and was considering adding Grenache, then maybe it is "a) soften the acidity" Or "d) add red fruit flavors." The phrase "Syrah is blended with Grenache" could mean either. The logic you explain is still consistent but it's just the phrasing of the question that leads to the ambiguity imo
Thank you again for your comment. I checked q.4. It was about adding Syrah to Grenache blend. Point of this question like you recognized to understand what Syrah contributes to Granache, which is Tannin. Adding Granache to Syrah dominated wine as you said is a different question like you said. My apologies if I was not clear enough, I understand that there can be confusion sometimes. The point of this mock question is to get better understanding of the material, and not just learning fact information.
But in your explanation you said “when you add Syrah to a granage blend, granage adds gives tannins to the blend” it should be the opposite - granage takes/receives tannins or Syrah gives/adds tannins
I missed eight-8...would I have passed...?! ! Thank you very much !! Please continue with all regions pertinent to wine test academics...!! 😎🍷☮

Excellent work! Dear friend, please check the answer to question 25. I believe the correct answer is Gironde not Garonne. Thank you again for a fun exam!
Gironde is the main river, and Garonne and Dordogne are the secondary rivers.
Thanks for the great work on this video. I am in WSET 2 and this is really helpful. Keep the great content coming
Thank you for the comment. Super happy that is helping you with your wine studies.
Have these questions came in your exam
@@comedybazz9807 a few of them yes, most of the questions are at least similar to these practice tests. Ma one suggestion is to memorize the geography (what grapes are grown where, especially Chile, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand) as I had a few of those questions on the test
Wonderful video. This was very helpful. I liked how you explained the background behind every answer choice.
Thank you for the comment, really appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for the comment.
Hi bro I'm interested in being a sommelier,,how challenging is since i dont have any knowledge about wines??
This is not as straightforward a question as it sounds. It is not challenging from the point of view of being academically difficult. Technically you can pass level 1 somm without ever tasting wines and same goes for most of the wset wines. That is just getting certs though and will only get you at most an interview. Without real world experience however, the certs are just boxes being ticked. I had tasted thousands of wines before I considered bothering with any certificates. So, if you are in the position to taste an incredible amount of wine, then yeah...getting your somm can be worth it if you feel the calling. Loads more people certified than making the big $$ or having the enviable and well known gigs though
I started learning about wine because first it was interesting for me, and second because I saw that Sommelier have a nice job and earn well. My point is learn about wine if it is interesting for you, if you like what you do, you will embrace any chalange. Also do not be afraid, better regret something you tried, than something you did not. Good luck, ai hope this answers your question.
I got 44/50 writing in 3 days time hope i will pass. Can you do a video of red grape varieties like you did on all white grapes that would be very helpful. Thank you so much great content there❤❤❤
Thank you for the comment. When is your exam? I am planning now the red grapes. Thank you for watching the videos and for your suggestions.
Thank you guys for time. Did you manage to pass your exams I hope this vedio helps a lot more than reading books.
I just completed my WSET level 2 classes exam will be on 28 is it possible that these questions can come in exams
Thank you for your question. This is the type of questions you can expect on WSET L2 in Wines exam. This are not exact questions. This questions will test your current wine knowledge and point out things that you might need to focus more. Please see other videos and mock exams, this will give you more understanding where are you with your wine knowledge. Good luck with your exam. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Wrong answer on 5th question, and completely wrong explanation on 37th question ...
Hello. I double checked if I made a mistake for the questions 5 and 37. I can confirm that I answered the questions correctly and explained the answer properly. I am sorry that you think differently. Please if you can explain why you think my explanation are not correct.
Good idea and effort but terrible audio quality! So difficult to watch the whole video.
Thank you for the comment. We will work to improve this
Question 5 is D
Thank you for the comment. Pinot Gris from Alsace has longer growing season than north Italy. This allows grapes to ripen more and produce wines with lower acidity and fuller body.
Helpful but the sound is terrible, man. Too much echo makes it hard to understand what you re saying.
Thanks for the comment. I am doing another 50 question video tomorrow with better sound.
this is so hard for me😂 too many info
Hello Molly. Start slow, watch other videos that we made on WSET in Wine if you are interested in wine. Please let me know if you have questions. Watch videos on specific topics, they have questions on the end. Are you interested in wine, can I help?
