The WSET Diploma D1 Preparation Guide is an in-depth and structured resource that supports students preparing for the Wine Production (D1) unit of the WSET Diploma. Organized by topic, it provides clearly outlined chapters covering the vine, its growth cycle, the growing environment, vineyard practices, hazards, harvest, winemaking techniques, maturation, and finishing. Each chapter includes concise bullet-point summaries, highlighted definitions, charts, and multiple-choice questions with answers, reinforcing critical knowledge for exam readiness. The guide integrates both scientific understanding and exam-specific insights, such as the impact of canopy management on wine style, the role of oxygen in maturation, or the winemaking decisions required for wines with residual sugar.
Practical and student-friendly, the guide also explains key terminology, exam-relevant processes, and the reasoning behind viticultural and vinification decisions, including their implications for wine style, quality, and price. It blends academic detail with practical exam strategy, using diagrams (like those on pages 6 and 12) to visually reinforce concepts like vine anatomy or the annual growth cycle. Ideal for students aiming for distinction, it balances clarity with technical accuracy, making it a trusted reference for both study and revision.
