Level 3Natural Factors and Human Influences in the VineyardService | WSET Level 3 Multiple-Choice Questions November 10, 2024 /Corresponding Chapters: “The Vine”, “Growing Environment”, “Vineyard Management” Here is a practice quiz about Natural Factors and Human Influences in the Vineyard (WSET L3).Please answer 10 randomly selected questions. (A total of 148 questions are included.) 1. What is a common problem associated with cool climates? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Loss of acidity in fruit Early harvest Smaller fruit size Insufficient ripening of grapes None 2. What type of diseases are likely to occur if a vineyard remains excessively wet? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Flower blight Phylloxera Drought disease Downy mildew and gray mold None 3. In a region with a large diurnal range, which factor has the most significant impact on grapes? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Balancing acidity retention and fruit flavor Fruit rotting Larger fruit size Delayed ripening None 4. What is the impact of ocean currents on grape cultivation? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Ocean currents absorb heat and raise temperatures at night. Fruits become dried out. Ripening is accelerated. Cold currents lower temperatures and create a cooler growing environment. None 5. What are the characteristics of the grape growing season in a Mediterranean climate? ("Growing Environment" Average Score: ) Winters are warm and humid. There is little temperature variation between day and night. There is a lot of rain throughout the year. Summers are hot and dry. None 6. Which harvesting method is necessary for the production of botrytized wine? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Early picking Mechanical harvesting Hand picking Green harvesting None 7. What kind of canopy management is necessary when the plant density is high? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Overlap leaves to prevent disease Open the canopy to ensure sunlight for the fruit Increase leaves to create shade Reduce acidity in the fruit None 8. What is the primary role of a grapevine's leaves? ("The Vine" Average Score: ) Supporting the fruit Providing oxygen Photosynthesis Absorbing nutrients None 9. Which grape disease affecting fruit and leaves is characterized mainly by the appearance of black spots? ("Vineyard Management" Average Score: ) Botrytis cinerea Powdery mildew Pierce's disease Black spot disease None 10. What is the main purpose of using grafting? ("The Vine" Average Score: ) To enhance the acidity of the wine To impart resistance to pests and diseases To suppress water absorption To accelerate growth rate None Time's upBack to Home of WSET Level 3
