WSET Awards in Wines: Systematic Approach to Tasting (SAT)
The Systematic Approach to Tasting (SAT) was developed by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) to provide a structured method for evaluating wines.
It becomes an important and familiar part of WSET studies (and beyond) and provides a common framework and terminology to describe any wine relevant for your WSET level.
By following and eventually memorising the SAT, students are able to:
Build the habit of evaluating wines, even outside classroom environment.
Understand different wine characteristics and how they relate
Learn to use a standardized lexicon to ensures that descriptions of wines are consistent and understandable across different individuals, languages and cultures.
