The Neptune School of Wine is pleased to offer the WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines.

The classes are taught by Peter Neptune MS along with guest lecturers, and offer students an opportunity to study and taste in preparation for the Diploma Exams.

The WSET Level 4 Diploma is WSET’s flagship qualification, it is designed to provide expert level knowledge in all aspects of wines deepening your understanding of how and why wine production
and business factors influence the style, quality, and price of wines. Successful graduates acquire exceptional analytical skills and proficiency in evaluative wine tasting and are well-prepared to progress to the Master of Wine program. Upon successful completion you will receive a WSET certificate and lapel pin, and will be able to use the post nominal DipWSET and associated
WSET certified logo.

To get an overview of the Diploma Program please read the Diploma Specification Guide (available on the WSET website). The Specification Guide explains Diploma in depth and outlines the program syllabus.

All Diploma Students should get hold of and read "Viticulture," by Stephen Skelton MW (available through www.lulu.com or Amazon) and "Understanding Wine Technology," by David Bird MW (available through Amazon).

You should also have a copy of the Oxford Companion to Wine and the Sothebys Encyclopedia of Wine.

In addition, I highly recommend that you procure a copy of a new book called "Wine Myths and Reality" by Benjamin Lewin MW.
