Level 2 Winemaking, Sparkling & Fortified

Everything that happens after the grapes reach the winery.

Most study material puts its weight on grapes and regions. This set covers the other half: how wine is actually made, plus the two categories candidates tend to leave until the night before.

45 questions, every one with a full explanation.

Winemaking (18). Fermentation, skin contact, oak, malolactic conversion, how sweetness is left in a wine, and the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary aromas.

Sparkling (14). Traditional method against tank method, Champagne, Cava, Prosecco and Asti, and the label terms that catch people out every year.

Fortified (13). Why Port is sweet and Fino is dry, the Port styles, and Fino through to Pedro Ximénez.

The explanations are the point. A wrong answer should teach you the rule behind it, not just cost you a mark, so each one tells you why the right answer is right and why the near miss was tempting.
