WSET Diploma revision notes🍇🍷🎓📘📝
In 2019 I completed my WSET Diploma. I thought it might be a good idea to share my revision notes with you… But be careful as since then, the program has changed. Most of my notes are still accurate, but some countries are not in the syllabus anymore and some new ones have been added, and the exam questions completely the same. Example: China, brand new in the prgram! Xie Xie 😉 Nov 5th, 2021 update: After several requests, I have put my documents in editable format. Use and share 🙂
