What will I learn during the Course?
Every wine is tasted blind or unseen, involving swirling, sniffing, sipping and spitting. This method allows you to learn to judge the quality of any wine based on its flavour profile rather than being swayed by familiar labels or the price tag. This enlightening process will equip you with the expertise and confidence to venture into new and thrilling realms of wine styles, grape varieties and producers.
Furthermore, it will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in professional wine tasting. Throughout your sessions, your tutor will impart invaluable insider knowledge to guide you through the complexities of selecting wines for any occasion.
