- You’ll understand the flavour and aromas associated with the world’s major grape varieties
- You will know the world’s major wine regions and the wine styles they produce
- How wine is made, the importance of soils and climate and the influence of the winemaker
- How to identify a faulty wine
- How to read and decipher wine labels
- The best ways to store and serve wine
- You’ll learn all about pairing food and wine, giving you lots of ideas to try at home
