D2 is the unit wine people underestimate, because it is not about wine. It is about supply lags, cost structures, margin build-up, distribution law, and why a bottle that leaves the cellar at four dollars reaches a restaurant list at forty.
Candidates who come from the trade often find D2 the easiest unit in the Diploma. Candidates who come from a love of wine often find it the hardest. Either way, it is the one that most rewards structured drilling.
Common questions
D2 is Wine Business: supply and demand, production cost structures, pricing and margin, routes to market including the three-tier system, the roles of the negociant and courtier, bulk trade and logistics, currency and tariffs, branding and marketing, consumer trends, sustainability claims, and the fine wine secondary market.
No, but you do need to think commercially. The questions ask you to trace cause and effect through a market: what a tariff does to a shelf price, why a cooperative pays growers the way it does, why a producer would sell in bulk rather than in bottle. That reasoning is learnable.
D2 is examined by a written paper that includes essay-style questions requiring structured commercial argument, not just recall. Use these questions to secure the underlying facts, then practice writing timed answers with a clear position and supporting evidence.
