Sake

Steeped in history, this libation has become one of the industry's fastest growing in popularity. It’s not wine and it’s not beer, and you can learn all about it in these WSET provided programs.

Spirits

Know the rules to break the rules. Once the favorite of pre-prohibition and speak-easies, cocktails have seen a boom over the last several decades. Learn the history, how they’re distilled, and how to mix a well-balanced crowd-pleaser.
