VinoMigo is a friendly study buddy for WSET wine students β€” built around the way human memory actually works. Whether you're starting at Level 1 or pushing through the Diploma, Migo the bowtie-wearing parakeet meets you on the home screen and tells you exactly what to study today. WHY IT WORKS β€’ Today's Pour β€” a single, smart recommendation each day. Behind the scenes, a cascade picks between practising your weakest learning outcome, clearing your overdue flashcards, saving your streak before midnight, or pacing you toward your exam date. One card, one clear next sip. β€’ Spaced-repetition flashcards. Every answer feeds an SM-2 schedule that pushes confident cards further out and pulls weak ones forward. Your time goes where it earns the most retention. β€’ Practice MCQs with explanations. Every question is tagged by learning outcome and level, with a one-line "why" attached to the correct answer and the three wrong ones β€” so a wrong answer becomes a tiny lesson rather than a dead end. β€’ Mock exams calibrated to the real paper. Length and time match WSET cadence per level: L1 is 30Q / 45 min, L2 is 50Q / 60 min, L3 is 50Q / 75 min (theory MCQ portion). β€’ Memory Palace. Wine regions become places you walk through. Each "stop" has a Migo's-anchor mnemonic, a soil-composition card, key facts that reveal one at a time, and a quick quiz at the end. The Region Constellation map clusters similar regions across continents β€” same grape, different accent β€” so the world arranges itself in your head. β€’ Mastery tracking per learning outcome + level. Watch each LO climb. The home screen surfaces what's lagging. WSET LEVELS COVERED β€’ L1 β€” Foundations. Main styles, principal countries, key grapes, service basics, common faults. β€’ L2 β€” The flagship level. Six learning outcomes, 380+ practice questions, full flashcard decks, and the original Memory Palace with twenty regions. β€’ L3 β€” Advanced. Seven learning outcomes, deeper questions across France and the rest of the world, hierarchical region drill-down with sub-regions and communes, and 50+ palace stops. β€’ L4 (Diploma D3) β€” Producers and vintages on top of the L3 region map. Named houses with archetypes and flagship cuvΓ©es. Recent vintage trends with rating and tasting note per year. ENGLISH AND DUTCH Full Dutch (Nederlands) localisation throughout, including the L3 + L4 Memory Palace, every quiz explanation, the guided tour and the daily Pour widget. Switch language any time from Settings. OFFLINE-FIRST Your study data β€” answers, streaks, mastery, spaced-repetition schedule β€” lives on your device. No login, no waiting for the cloud, no battery drain. The app works on a train, on a flight, or in a cellar. CONTENT NOTE VinoMigo is built by a wine learner for wine learners. The content is reviewed against the WSET Level 1, 2 and 3 specifications but is NOT affiliated with WSET. Use it alongside your official course materials, not in place of them. Migo will be waiting.
