Punch downs with a view. 🍇

During red w**emaking, grape skins rise to the surface during fermentation, forming what’s known as the cap.

Punching down pushes those skins back into the fermenting juice, helping to extract colour, tannins and flavour.

We can think of worse places to work… 🍷😍

Flashcards, mind maps, practice questions or a mountain of handwritten notes? 📚🍷

When it comes to studying for a WSET qualification, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. What works wonders for one student might not work for another!

Huge congratulations to **efriendkatie on achieving a Distinction in her WSET Level 3 Award in W**es! 🏆👏

Whether you’re just starting your WSET journey or preparing for your next exam, finding the study techniques that work for you can make all the difference.

🥂 Ever wondered how Ch*****ne gets its sparkle?

The answer lies in the traditional method, where a second fermentation takes place inside the bottle, creating the bubbles we know and love.

Head to our blog this *****neDay, to learn more about the process behind the pop, from fermentation and ageing to riddling and disgorgement. 🍾

Today we’re taking a trip to the rolling hills and ancient vineyards of Serbia 🍇🇷🇸.

Whilst Serbia is home to a handful of native grape varieties, and even more international varities, today we’re honouring their flagship red variety - Prokupac!

Known for its juicy red fruit character and deep roots in the country’s w**emaking heritage, Prokupac is a grape well worth discovering.

Have you ever tried it? Let us know what you thought in the comments!

Now that’s how you steam rice!

These industrial rice steamers used in sake brewing, known as jōmaiki (蒸米機) or the traditional koshiki (甑), are specially designed to gelatinise rice starch without boiling the rice.

After steaming the rice is then cooled, ready for the next step in the sake brewing process.
