D1: Faults: Background: Pascal Chatonnet on Reduction in Wine Part 1
Reduction is the term used to describe the presence of volatile sulphur compounds in wine, and specifically mercaptans. Pascal explains the technicalities of reduction in wine, a problem that is becoming more commonplace these days due to the use of screw caps. Because with screw caps there is so little oxygen ingress into bottles, reductive characters such as burnt rubber, rotten eggs and cabbage can develop.
I thought the questions were excellent, an extremely valuable revision tool. They really helped highlight areas I thought I had revised and understood but clearly had not, which has enabled me to focus on key areas to revisit and study before going into the exam... I think it is a great resource and an essential revision aid for any WSET 3 students wishing to gain a competitive edge and successfully pass the WSET 3 exam.
