Taste Great Wines & Spirits From Around The World
On-line Wine Tasting Courses
From Grape To Glass
We have designed this course as a practical introduction to wine and wine tasting. We don’t assume that you have any particular knowledge of wine, only that you have an interest in it.
The course will consist of 4 sessions on consecutive Tuesday evenings. Sessions will start promptly at 7pm London time and last an hour or so.
3 wines made from classic grape varieties will be featured and tasted at each session. The presenter will give a profile of each variety – where it is grown, the styles of wine it is used to make, the aroma and flavour characteristics of the wines and classic food pairings. Participants will be encouraged to share their impressions of each wine tasted.
Sessions will be presented using Zoom. To join in, you will need access to the internet via a tablet, laptop or desk-top computer, preferably with a camera.
We will be making a participation charge of £50 per household.
