What is a WSET accreditation?

WSET stands for Wine & Spirits Education Trust and their qualifications are recognised globally as the international standard in wine and spirit knowledge. The courses are designed for professionals and enthusiasts who have a passion for wines and spirits. In the last academic year more than 85,000 candidates sat a WSET exam in over 70 countries. A qualification is given to those who can successfully demonstrate a core understanding of wines with knowledge of major grape varieties and important wine regions in which they are grown. This includes different styles of wines produced from these grapes as well as spirits and liqueurs, their key classifications and labelling terminology.
