Description

Are you interested in wine, but you're not sure where to start? This course is for you.

"Thank you so much for all the work you have put into this course. Very informative."

"I just want to let you know that I appreciate the work you've put into this course and are continuing to put in to it to add to its already bountiful, richness!!! I am learning a lot and know others are too."

"Great intro to wines and the winemaking process."

"I very much enjoyed taking this course, and found it very informative."

"I found this course very informative and the instructor was disarmingly charming while still imparting significant knowledge in viticulture and winemaking. The course modules are succinct, allowing me to watch in bite-sized chunks. Terms were clearly defined, and the language was accurate but not filled with the normal pretentiousness one often finds associated with wine. A definite recommendation for wine newbies, but also for folks who know wine well and want to know more about the vineyard."

This course has 4,890 students in 120 countries (WOW, thank you, students!) and it's growing daily! (Updated 3/30/2020)

This is a comprehensive, easy-to-understand course on all aspects of wine. What will we cover?

  • Wine defined

  • A short history of wine and where it came from

  • Visit a native grapevine in its natural habitat

  • A full year in the vineyard, exploring practices and tasks of vineyard workers

  • How the heck wine is made

  • Building your confidence in buying the right wines

  • How the heck to taste it "properly" (spoiler alert: however you want)

  • Wine "lingo" and how to wade through the jargon

Why take this course?

  • Enhance your enjoyment of wine, in your own unique way

  • Feel the hubris of wine confidence, and put that wine snob you know to shame =)

  • Just kidding, we're not about shaming here

  • But heck, you can become a wine snob yourself, if you'd like

  • Take this course with a friend! Pop that bottle open and park yourself!

  • It's structured to be informative and fun. Even more so with wine. Cheers!
