WSET DIPLOMA: D3 EXAM
Hi everybody, The dreaded D3 exam dates: the 26th and 27th of October have come and now passed. After 5 months of dedicating basically every waking hour to studying I sat the WSET Diploma D3 Exam; probably one of the most difficult exams I have ever had to take. The D3 Exam of the Diploma is a two day examination based on 'The Wines of the World', basically its enography and ampelography of the most important grape varities, wine styles and GIs from all over the world regarding only still, unfortified wines (the D4 and D5 exams are dedicated to the Sparkling and Fortified Wines of the World). The book spans some 600 pages of just bulk information on the wine regions in the world, starting of course from Bordeaux, France, through the USA, Australia, Argentina and ending in China. As I have already told you the spectrum of information given is huge and honestly 5 months to prepare were barely enough I thought. But let's talk about what you're here for: the actual exam.
