Built an interactive grape & region map while studying for WSET L2 - sharing in case it helps anyone else
Hey all - about a month into prepping for the WSET Level 2 exam, I realised something like 60% of the questions hinge on knowing which grapes grow where (and how the same grape behaves differently across regions). Flashcards weren't sticking, so I built a small map for myself.
It's at https://terroir.cc/ - pick a grape and it highlights every region in scope on the world map; pick a region and it shows what's grown there with a per-pairing style note (Cab in Pauillac vs Coonawarra, etc.). 33 grapes and 125 regions covered, all from the official WSET L2 spec + my own ebook readings.
No signup, no ads, no tracking. Source on GitHub if anyone wants to fork it for L3 or another qualification: https://github.com/AbsolutelyTotal/terroir
Caveats: it's reference-only (no quiz mode yet), and I sanity-checked the data against the WSET PDFs but I'm one person - mistakes happen. If you spot anything wrong, GitHub issues or replies here are welcome.
Hope it's useful for anyone else prepping for the exam 🍇
