![]() These wine guides are an impressive achievement. They are fun, bold, smart, educational and modern. And everyone running corporate wine tastings should be ordering them for their clients. Every restaurant or hospitality business with a wine-education programme should be ordering them for their staff. Every WSET/sommelier student should be on the Flewellen website right now, ordering their pack. You can have a look at a sample ‘Complete’ wine guide here (you’ll need to use your imagination for how it folds): ![]() Table showing comparative climate data for other, comparable, global wine regions Summary boxes for each major appellation with vineyard area, production volume, grapes grown, soil types & wine styles producedĬlimate data – rainfall, growing degree days, elevation – for towns in the region Infographic maps showing most appellations along with geographical features Each guide in this series generally contains:Ī more detailed, yet still concise, written summary There are various pie charts, bar charts and tables that provide useful contextual information allowing you to gain greater insight into the region. More appellations are included and there is a greater emphasis on soil types, climatic conditions and wine styles produced. The guides in this series contain a lot more detail than those in the introduction series. As a guide, it covers the syllabus up to (and often exceeding) the WSET Level 4 Diploma. The ‘Complete’ series is designed for those really getting into the detail of a wine region. Wine lovers, journalists and anyone interested in getting to know the wines of France a little better will also appreciate these beautiful guides. They are also affordable, with the price of one study guide – about the cost of a decent bottle of wine. Each single piece of paper contains a summary of relevant information about a particular wine region with Level 3 and Level 4 students in mind. They don’t skimp on the detail, yet they are graphically designed to present the information for each region clearly, concisely and beautifully.ĭesigned with the wine student in mind, they follow closely the syllabus for the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET). They are rigorously researched, using the most up-to-date facts and figures available. The entirety of France is covered in two sets of paper study guides aimed at wine novices and wine experts. The product of years of research, my infographic wine guides present this information in as clear, concise and simple a manner as possible – but without compromising on the detail. There’s also a lot of bad information – simplistic, inaccurate, or just plain wrong. There’s a lot of good information – but it can be dense, overly detailed, sometimes expensive, and possibly out of date. There’s also a lot of information out there, online and in books. Grape varieties, wine styles, soil types, effects of rivers and oceans, the weather… Once you start getting into it, there’s a lot to wrap your head around to understand a wine region.
