How Well Do You Know Your Wines? - Test Your Skills with Our 12-Question Challenge!
Hello, it's Alper here. I'm on my journey to becoming a Master Sommelier, with the exam ahead in October 2024 in London.
I've crafted 12 insightful questions from these personal notes, designed not only to challenge but also to enrich your understanding of wine. It's important to note that these questions are derived solely from my personal study efforts and are not associated with any official sommelier course or curriculum. They reflect my journey into the wine world, intended to stimulate thought and discussion among us.
Interested in going deeper? Join my membership for exclusive access to detailed study notes. Together, we can deepen our understanding of wine.
