This is a general chat with Richard to find out how he has found his wine studies as blind person. The main difficulty is describing the colour of wine, but he can use his sense of smell to tell him a little about the colour, for example tertiary flavours will tell him the wine has some aged and therefore what the colour might be. The WSET make adjustments to the exam to take into account his blindness and he has had loads of help from fellow students while in the classroom.
