Hi Everyone!

I’m hosting a friendly tasting of Slovenian and Spanish natural wines next Tuesday, 15th of July 2025.

Natural Selection and Nosh wines are pulling 3 wines from each of their portfolios and we’re having the people decide which wines will come out on top.

There will also be spot prizes for those who can correctly match the wine to it’s country.

Tickets are here! https://naturalselection.wine/products/Nosh-x-Natural-Selection-15-07-p764178711

Feel free to get in touch with any questions.

Hi all,

I'll be taking my exam this fall and have started with the individual study. Looking to connect with anyone who wants to share knowledge/best practice, either if you are taking or refreshing your knowledge.

I have seen a few older thread so if there is an existing group, happy to join as well!

You can reach me at kunzjdavid@gmail.com - looking forward to connect :)

We’re excited to launch the “Wines of the World”, a new series created for the Berlin Wine School Groups community.

Starting this month, we will explore key wine regions and grape varieties with the content from the national and regional wine associations from around the world. Their support for our knowledge-sharing efforts at Groups is crucial in ensuring access to reliable and up-to-date information.

You will be able to discover the unique expression, history, and character of different wine-producing countries and regions, gaining an understanding of what truly sets their wines apart.

Here’s what to expect:

• Weekly posts in the “Wine General Discussion”

• Country overviews highlighting key regions and varieties with links to external resources for deeper learning.

We often receive questions about the grading for the various levels of WSET Wine Studies. This information is always available in the Course Specification document for each level, but we thought it would be useful to include it here.

WSET Level 1 Award in Wines

The exam consists of 30 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 45 minutes.

To pass, you must correctly answer at least 70% of the questions.

The full specification, including the examination criteria, is available here.

Understanding how the WSET L3 Tasting Exam is assessed can significantly increase your chances of success.

The examination will consist of two blind wines and will assess a candidate’s ability to accurately describe a wine and draw conclusions based on these observations. The tasting examination must be completed in 30 minutes.

In order to get full marks, you need to closely follow the L3 Systematic Approach to Tasting - marks are awarded based on how accurately and consistently you apply it.

This is how marks are distributed:

The tasting exam is worth 41 marks in total. To pass the tasting paper, you need at least 55% (i.e., 23/50).

Organized by Enoiteca Il Calice, the festival brings together culinary delights, fine wines, and music in a summery atmosphere—truly embodying the dolce vita!

For Berliners, the festival has become a benchmark among wine events, though for some, it remains an insider tip.

Renowned wine producers from Germany and Italy will personally present their finest selections. Guests can also enjoy street food, artisanal gastronomic specialties, and a variety of drinks, all accompanied by vibrant live DJ beats.
