Master mountains of wine knowledge, easily and efficiently

To help you (and the many wine students like you) Brainscape gathered together a dream team of experts—including an experienced wine educator, a Master Sommelier, a Master Sommelier candidate, and an Advanced Sommelier—to compile a comprehensive collection of flashcards that cover all the essential facts for the WSET Level 4 D4 Sparkling Wine prep.

These flashcards are based on the entire curriculum and recommended reading offered by WSET, other reading materials by Jancis Robinson, Peter Liem, and Hugh Johnson, and various regional government websites that oversee specific appellations and their production regulations.

Together with Sarah, we distilled these resources into a collection of question-and-answer flashcards. Delivered via Brainscape’s web and mobile app for iOS or Android, you can study these anytime and anywhere while benefiting from the key cognitive learning principles that constitute the bedrock of our adaptive learning platform.

What we have essentially created is the most comprehensive WSET ® Level 4 Diploma flashcards ever, with all the facts you need to know to ace Unit 4 on Sparkling Wines. The flashcards are a deep dive into the major sparkling wines of the world, the regions in which they’re made, the styles made in these regions and the key climatic and human factors that affect those styles, and the grapes and methods of production which are defined by each region.
