This course is designed to help you enhance your knowledge and enjoyment of wine. Learn how to “swirl and sniff” and choose wines to serve at your dinner or cocktail party. After learning a brief history of wine and how it is made, you’ll learn how to taste it and how to identify what it is about a wine that you like. Through these tastings, you will be able to identify the characteristic components of wine. Putting your wine knowledge to work you’ll explore the basic principles of wine and food pairing, buying, storing, serving, and evaluating wine.
