This was the very first course that I took when I started in the wine industry and it has taken me all over the world since then! The information that you learn is perfect wine enthusiasts that want to learn to understand European wine labels and how a Shiraz is different from a Syrah. Also great for professionals, wanting to deepen their wine knowledge and be able to speak intelligently about what they are selling to customers.
This is a 3 day course, with a review and exam on the 3rd day.
