Finally, I completed my course regarding wine on Udemy which provided me with extensive wine knowledge with some quizzes for every chapter. Finally, there is a quote that I got from C.S. Lewis that says, "The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge". #foodandbeverageindustry #wineeducation

How can wine education be more practical? In my humble opinion the wine education industry is less practical, it’s take so much time to memorise so many details that we forget next week, and doesn’t help us to solve everyday problems in our jobs. In general I believe the whole education industry will change, it has been the same for decades, and these days most people don’t see as much benefit or value as in the old days. Even when you hear from some of the most respected business leaders in the world, who have changed their industries, they value many things more than a degree. One of the biggest problems in the wine education system, is that it doesn’t necessarily increase your chances a getting job, you won’t be more “employable” than someone else just because of the level of your wine education. I would like to see subjects added that are more relevant to today’s world, like: AI, Digital Marketing, How to sell wines, How we can understand customer language, How we can engage with Generations Y & Z, etc.. I can spend my whole morning adding new subjects.. What do you think about the Wine Education? What do you think we need to add or change? #wineeducation #wineindustry #winelife #winespecialist #wineaustralia #wine #winebusiness

always pushing the boundaries with your potentially controversial questions.. LOVE IT! Whether it's "over-hyped" depends on your career goals and personal expectations. Experience, practical skills, and networking can sometimes outweigh formal qualifications such as the WSET. If you're aiming for roles like sommelier, wine educator, or perhaps positions in wine marketing and distribution, the WSET Diploma can be very beneficial. Yet, if your career goals are different, or even if you already have significant experience and a strong network, it might not be as crucial. Lots of factors to consider, no one answer.

"What's Right for Me?" Many students ask about the difference between WSET Level 2 and Level 3. Here's the breakdown: 💙 WSET Level 2 is perfect for wine lovers and industry pros with a solid foundation. Want to decode wine labels and understand regional differences without taking a sip? In about 30 hours of study and tasting, you’ll learn just that—wrapping up with a 50-question exam. 💚 WSET Level 3 goes deeper. You’ll learn the “why” and “how” of wine, from vineyard to bottle. With 80+ hours of study, short-answer questions, and tasting exams, this course is ideal for those who want a deeper understanding of how climate, winemaking techniques, and geography shape a wine’s style. In your opinion, what's the main difference between Level 2 and Level 3? Let us know! Comment or message us,🍷 Learn More: https://lnkd.in/gffjHPii #WSET #WineEducation #NapaValleyWineAcademy

OK, LET’S BE HONEST HERE… I am closing Week 2 of my Diploma 4 in Wines and I feel overwhelmed by the level of detailed information I will have to learn 😳 I passed quite easily level 3 of the WSET thanks to the background education I had from working 16+ years in the wine industry, but hey… …Diploma 4 si something different 📚🍷 These days I feel like I am recovering from the initial shock, as I learned how much efforts I will have to put in this journey, if I want to try and pass the exams without having to re-sit. Well, an exam re-sit is also ok, and highly probable 😅 but the goal I am visualizing is to pass all of them at the first time! Now that I have consciousness about how many study hours I will have to put int this, I am starting to manage my agenda differently, focusing at least two hours a day into it, without any social media notification or ‘emergency’ tasks. A catch up day to cover any left over study if life gets in the way, I think will be very useful as well 🤷♀️ ➡ WSET School London fellow students, what are your feelings? ➡ How are you dealing with such an amount of tasks are we assigned to complete by the end of every week? #wine #tuscany #winebusiness —— 🍷 I am Claudia, WSET Lev. 3 certified wine professional.
