D1: The Vine: Background: Jamie Goode on respiration and photosynthesis
Jamie Goode is a wine writer and leading wine blogger with a PhD in plant biology. In this final interview Jamie gives us an overview of grapevine respiration and photosynthesis.
We hear how grapevines shut down when they get too hot (usually above 35 degrees celsius) and stop photosynthesising (blockage in French). Also how the process of respiration (the plants metabolism) can be separate from process of photosynthesis and why wine growers need to understand how this impacts on the quality of the grapes.
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.
