  • Our Udemy course, "Wine in 9 - The Complete Wine Tasting Course" focuses on the process of tasting and a methodology for building up your tasting experience, while this course is about understanding the sheer variety of wines out there and where to look for the most exceptional examples according to each type and style.

  • This course is also ideally suited to those whose next step is to take the W.S.E.T. Level 2 Wine Course for their own development or as a stepping stone on their career in the wine industry.

Description

Do you ever find that in your personal or professional life you lack the skills and knowledge to choose, serve and talk about wines with confidence? Whether for your work or personal development, this course is designed to give you the knowledge and skills you need to feel comfortable choosing, serving, and communicating about all types of wine.

Who is it for?

  • anyone who wants to work with wine - wine sellers, restauranters and waiters, vineyard guides, and more.

  • any enthusiast who wants to have more confidence around wine, whether within a business environment or social group.

This course is based on the WSET Wine Level 2 syllabus, and thus is a beginner- to intermediate-level course suitable for industry professionals and wine enthusiasts. Although not an official preparation course, anyone approaching this examination would find this course useful.

While our companion course "Wine in 9" provides a framework for understanding different types of wine, this course looks at the wider world of wine, giving an overview of major wine regions and varieties. We'll also cover technical aspects of wine pricing, storing and serving. As a taster, the course contains 4 videos taken from our companion "Wine in 9" course, while the remaining 95% of this course material is completely new and unique. This course is the perfect partner to "Wine in 9".
