Meet Petar
I created this programme because I wished something like it had existed when I was preparing for the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines.
The qualification is demanding. The textbook is dense. And for most students, the biggest challenge is not the content itself — it is knowing where to start, how to structure your study, and how to think about wine the way the exam expects you to.
As a WSET educator with years of experience guiding students through this qualification, I built Thirsty and Wise to give every student the structure, tools, and support I wished I had. So that no one has to figure it out alone. You now have everything I know, organised in one place, ready to use from day one. You do not need to prepare alone.
Stay Thirsty and Wise! Petar Velickovic DipWSET
