D1: The Vine: Background: Jamie Goode on the vines roots and grapes
Jamie Goode is a wine writer and leading wine blogger with a PhD in plant biology. In this second interview Jamie gives us an overview of grapes, vines and roots.
We cover how grapes contain flavour compounds that carry through into the wine as well as flavours called precursors which the yeast converts into flavour compounds that we get in the wine. We also discuss the vine's roots and how plants can communicate!
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.
