What Will You Learn?
Wine – an alcoholic beverage made through the fermentation of various fruits. It sounds so simple and at its core, it is but it’s also so much more. Wine has a history and culture of its own; it’s an industry worth billions, but it’s also an immensely significant social lubricant enjoyed at everything from get-togethers with friends and weddings to formal meetings between business associates.

We’ll explore the origins and history of the winemaking process – from ancient civilizations, medieval Europe and the Middle East to the American continent, whilst discovering the ways in which the process has evolved in the 20th and 21st centuries.
