NEWSLETTER: WSET's New Look & UPCOMING COURSES

Dear Grape Skills Community,

I wanted to share an exciting update: WSET is rolling out a major brand refresh this year. As with any rebrand, reactions have been mixed — some have welcomed the new look, while others are still getting used to it.

I had the chance to speak with WSET directly this week to learn more about the process behind the change. The work was led by a leading UK design agency, with the goal of modernising the brand and strengthening WSET's international presence as the world's leading wine education body.

What this means for your certificates:

• All online certificates will now be issued in the new format.

• If you received a printed certificate under the old branding, you can reorder an updated online version directly from WSET for a fee here.

A milestone — thanks to you

This week, WSET shared a special recognition with us: Grape Skills holds the highest WSET Level 3 pass rate in Germany. We couldn't have reached this milestone without our wonderful students — thank you for your dedication, your curiosity, and the trust you place in us.

UPCOMING COURSES

And on to what's next — here are our upcoming course dates:

☑️ WSET Level 1 (German) — 20 June 2026 Sign up here

☑️ WSET Level 2 (German) — 26–28 June 2026 Sign up here

☑️ WSET Level 3 (English) — 10–12 & 24–26 July 2026 Sign up here

The WSET Level 3 in July is taught entirely in English — particularly useful for anyone planning to continue on to the WSET Level 4 Diploma: Level 3 is a prerequisite for entry, and the Diploma itself is delivered entirely in English.

‼️ We're finalising the dates for the second half of the year this week, and we'll share the full calendar with you very soon.

Warm regards,

Cynthia & the Grape Skills Team
