  • Addendum Regarding: the 2016 Certified Specialist of Spirits Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators Note
    Addendum regarding: The 2016 Certified Specialist of Spirits Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators Note: This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2016 CSS Study Guide as compared to the 2015 version of the Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2015 version. These items will not appear on Exams based on the 2015 SG. Page 9 – the following was added to the information under the “Fermentation” heading: Fermentation may also create small amounts of other alcohols, such as methanol (methyl alcohol) and a range of compounds collectively referred to as fusel oils which contain small amounts of amyl alcohol, n-propyl, and isobutyl alcohols. Page 17 – the following information was added to the section on Filtration: Many spirits undergo a process known as chill filtration. Chill filtration removes components common to many spirits that can cause a spirit to appear hazy or dull. Matured spirits in particular are likely to require chill filtration. To carry out this process, the spirit is chilled, which causes a haze to form that can then be removed. With all types of filtration, care must be taken to avoid filtering out desirable components that contribute to body and flavor along with those that are unwanted. Page 18 – the following information was added under the “bottling strength” heading: Most spirits are bottled at 37 to 43% alcohol by volume. Page 31 - the chart on the top-selling vodka brands has been updated to reflect 2015 statistics as follows (highlighted entries have changed): Top Selling Vodka Brands Rank Brand 1 Smirnoff 2 Absolut 3 Green Mark 4 Grey Goose 5 Skyy 6 Stolichnaya 7 Finlandia 8 Russian Standard 9 Cîroc 10 Ketel One 11 Sobieski 12 Eristoff Source: Drinks International (2015) Page 46 - the information pertaining to the PGI status of Plymouth gin was deleted, as the PGI was not submitted for renewal and has expired.
