Introduction and tasting

This chapter introduces the WSET Level 2 Systematic Approach to Tasting, then turns to food and wine pairing as the practical application. The two sub-chapters can be read in either order, but tasting first will give you the vocabulary you need for everything else in the course.

In this chapter:

Tasting technique: the L2 SAT in full, with the appearance, nose, and palate scales plus a four-criteria quality conclusion.
Pairing wine and food: the seven food-wine interactions and the personal-preference override.

Pick a sub-chapter from the sidebar and dive in. The flashcard deck below this chapter covers both topics together, so save it for after you've worked through both.
