(A total of 148 questions are included.) 1. What are the important environmental factors to consider when selecting a grape growing region? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Average temperature, rainfall, sunlight hours Presence of tractors Types of harvesters Availability of labor None 2. Which factor is often improved by the characteristics of rootstocks? ("The Vine" Average Score: ) Enhancement of flavor Absorption of sunlight Shortening of maturation period Disease resistance and water stress tolerance None 3. What is the advantage of "VSP (Vertical Shoot Positioning)" in canopy management? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Promoting growth Reducing leaf overlap and improving airflow Protecting the soil Reducing sunlight None 4. What are the characteristics of the grape growing season in a Mediterranean climate? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Summers are hot and dry. There is little temperature variation between day and night. Winters are warm and humid. There is a lot of rain throughout the year. None 5. What kind of damage can occur to grapevines when temperatures drop below -20°C? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Buds grow earlier Leaves wither Roots die Fruits freeze None 6. What is the impact of water stress on grapevines? ("The Vine" Average Score: ) The sugar content decreases The fruit becomes smaller but the flavor concentrates Flowering occurs earlier The acidity increases None 7. What is the problem that occurs when grapevines experience low temperatures in spring? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Leaves wilting Fruit ripening Soil cooling Delayed budbreak None 8. What impact does moderate water stress have on grape cultivation? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) It accelerates flowering. It inhibits root development. It promotes fruit ripening. It encourages leaf growth. None 9. What is the main risk associated with mechanical harvesting? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Labor force is required The skins become less prone to breaking Unhealthy berries and leaves are also harvested Only ripe fruit can be harvested None 10. What are the characteristics of soil known as loam? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Poor drainage High in clay and humus Low in nutrients A mixture of sand and clay None Time's upBack to Home of WSET Level 3
