“Learning about wine has given me so much more confidence”

Erica Weindorf wanted to know more about her favorite wines, so she signed up for a wine tasting course in her area. She lives in London.

“I’ve always enjoyed drinking wine with my friends, but sometimes felt silly looking at wine lists and not understanding what I was choosing. The course was so enjoyable and the tutors took us through different types of wine, from Bordeaux to Merlot, and what to look for in a good wine. Now when I’m out with friends, they pass me the wine list and I choose the drinks.”

Erica’s one-day course was with The Wine Education Service and cost £110. For details, call (020) 8991 8212 or visit www.wine-education-service.co.uk.
