Where Should You Start?
WSET Level 1 - beginners
Does the world of wine feel scary? Or do you get confused with grapes and wines. Chardonnay is a grape, Chablis is a wine....but it's made from Chardonnay.
Or if you want to learn the basics before jumping to Level 2 - lots of people find this useful.
Have you ever wondered what makes rosé wine pink?
WSET Level 2 - beginners / intermediate
Enhance your wine knowledge by understanding wine labels, learning the jargon, and exploring more grapes and regions after Level 1.
Discover what a cool climate Chardonnay, like a Chablis, tastes like compared to a warmer climate Chardonnay, like a Napa Valley.
Plus what the winemaker can do to change the structure and flavour of the wine.
WSET Level 3 - advanced
Explore both broader and deeper aspects of wine through our online wine courses. Designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence the style, quality, and price of the principal still, sparkling, and fortified wines of the world.

about Red Grape Coaching
Our Mission
At Red Grape Coaching, we strive to enhance your wine knowledge and appreciation through engaging experiences. Join us on a journey where every sip tells a story, and every grape has a history... and here's my story.
Snowed in on a skiing holiday, with nothing to do, we decided to book a wine tasting at the local wine bar. The sommelier opened six bottles from the stunning Aosta Valley region.
We tasted, we listened, and we were hooked. The standout bottle was the Sangue di Giuda - an unusual, delicious sweet, sparkling red!
When we got back to London, I enrolled in WSET courses, starting at the Level 1. I learned loads of valuable stuff, tasted lots of wines, and eventually left my banking job to open a Wine School in London, where I now offer online wine courses. #lovemyjob
Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at sam@redgrapecoaching.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
No. If you have some wine knowledge you can start at Level 2. We do not recommend starting at Level 3 - the jump from 2 to 3 is a big one!
Book the course, you get instant access. Complete each module, and each one is followed by some quiz questions, just to make sure we've nailed the learning objectives. Then decide if you want to take the exam. Get in ouch at that point sam@redgrapecoaching.com
Nope! The exams are a great way to test your knowledge but they are not compulsory. And only really matter if you are looking to add the "certification" to your CV so you can get that dream job!
The exam is online and has to be invigilated by the team at WSET. So we book the date and time with you. You take the exam on your laptop/PC and record yourself using a secondary device (usually a phone) You get all your systems ready. You take the exam. WSET check all the recordings. The results get sent to you as soon as we receive them from WSET. CLICK HERE for more details
The exam is online, and every exam recording is watched back by WSET invigilators - who have to charge us for their time. Plus there is some admin around recording details, and registering students.
We decided to split the exam and the course as some people just want to do the course, learn the content and not worry about the exam at all.
The choice is yours!
All WSET Certificates are digital now (Aug 2025), so we can email it over to you. They are globally recognised certifications so feel free to get that listed on your CV, LinkedIn, Facebook, Insta......time to show off!
We can send you a list of “key wines” that you can purchase from your own wine supplier.
Or you can also opt to order a selection of sample wines (Vinottes). Each package contains the recommended samples for every qualification (except sparkling wines) and offers an affordable and easy way to taste a wide range of representative styles. You can order these samples at www.e-tasting.com.
