Wine is a global phenomenon. From New York to Hong Kong to London to Mumbai, wine is an essential ingredient to both business and pleasure. To be a part of this world –the world of sommeliers and winemakers– you have to know this world.
Once a student has mastered the ability to taste wine like a master sommelier (in Level Two), the next step in the journey is to dive into the world of wine. This wine course covers all the major wine regions and the essential grape varieties.
