Have you ever wondered how the experts determine actually which smell, taste, feel or look a wine is. Reading a nice description about a wine literally makes my mouth water.

We will help you become aware of wines components and the processes used and what you can determine from a wine before you even have the pleasure of tasting it.

This course will also include information about wording and writing a review.

It is important that you have taken our Basic Wine course before enrolling here. Many factors covered in the previous course will be necessary to fully benefit from this course.
