Excel Summary for WSET4 Diploma: D4 Sparkling Wines
Right before the summer I finished the last of the WSET4 Diploma units, the D6 Research Paper. So if this too went well, I’ll be receiving my final grade in about a month. Fingers crossed! 🙂
In the meantime, I’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback on the grape variety mind maps for the D3 and D5 modules, and quite a few people asked if I also made them for the D4 sparkling wines. Unfortunately, I haven’t, as I did the D4 exams last January, and only started making the visuals for the big D3 exam in May.
However, I am happy to share the study materials I did make for D4, more specifically my summary in Excel.
It’s a bit of a spreadsheet monster, but thanks to colour coding there’s at least some method to the madness:
- Green columns: viticultural aspects / growing conditions
- Yellow columns: winemaking
- Blue columns: wine law, business & production data

And most of all: hang in there, and don’t forget to enjoy the process, the learning ánd the tasting! 🙂
